Check this out. Forwarded message from a friend. How many of you can identify with this? Sounds very familiar to me. Just passing it on, don't shoot the messenger.

I also remember that when I got sent for a switch (for me of course) mine never seemed to be the one I got "switched" with. My Mom and Dad worked all the time and my Grandparents on my Dad's side raised me. Grandpa and Grandma administered most of the disipline on me. Then when Dad came home I'd get it again, that is if I had really messed up. I miss Grandpa, he taught me how to shoot straight and to always tell the truth, even if it hurt. AHHH, the Good Old Days. |

My mom broke so many wooden kitchen implements on my butt (and I *rarely* got caught! [}:D]) that it became kind of a joke. However, my dad's belt was NOT a joke. OUCH! NOTE: I was NOT harmed by being spanked. Most of the time it was deserved, and when it was not, it made up for a few of the times when I wasn't caught. I'm glad my parents cared enough about us kids to keep us on the straight and narrow. I'm certainly a better adult because of it. It helped knowing that they didn't LIKE punishing us, and we usually knew exactly why we were getting it. -Troy |
