I haven't hit my kid with a stick (or anything else) for anything, and wouldn't.
But I would probably assign two penalties for in your face defiance from him. One for the offense, one for the defiance.
I am always respectful towards him, and the assumption in this house is that he is respectful towards me as well.
Of course, my penalties usually come in the form of a tiresome speech. :)
