| Dec 29, 2015 at 22:16 | comment | added | dukerasputin | For me 'straighten somebody out' has a more negative connotation, but I think it could be used both ways. I would not really say that she made them happier, more that she taught them to behave themselves or something alike. But her methods doing so remain a mystery to me. Is there more information in the cotext? | |
