Splinter Disciplining the Turtles

OK that title ended up sounded weirder than I meant it to, lol, but hear me out.

You know how in the 2nd turtles film if one of the turtles got out of line Splinter would have them do flips to punish them? It occurred to me that for some reason I can't imagine OT Splinter doing that. Maybe it's because I can just imagine one of them (especially Raphael or Donatello) giving some sort of sarcastic reply in response, lol. I mean not that the OT turtles didn't respect Splinter, but they occasionally came across as a bit more free spirited or independent when it came to respecting their elders, lol.

Maybe it's because Splinter was technically a "human" and the OT turtles always did play up how separate they were from human beings. Whereas in other incarnations Splinter is an animal like they are.

For some reason, at most, I can picture Splinter having them wash dishing or sweep the floor, or even, oh I don't know, hypnotizing one of them to not like pizza anymore! But again, I anticipate a sarcastic remark from at least one of them to end the episode, lol.

Maybe I'm wrong, just curious about your thoughts, heh.
