School Discipline Finally Flies Back to the Future

My Mom used to make me go outside and get the switch that I was going to get the whipping with! I got the bright idea to get a tiny little twig. She drug me back outside and stripped a limb of a bush as big as your thumb.....and beat me like a red headed yankee step child! I didn't try that one again, but the next idea was to sit down so she couldn't swat my legs. That didn't work out too well either. I had more stripes than a Tiger....lol.
I think my mom hit harder than my dad she would use the kitchen spatula and my dad had a big *** paddle. The first hit with the paddle and I would fall over and my dad figured that was enough. But moms spatula it would take many swats before I fell over. You think I would have learned and fell over on the first swat.
I think a lot of us older guys and gals got a pretty purple back side a time or two and we are still alive and we all learned the hard way don't steal, cheat and by God clean your bedroom.
