So, I’m outside getting the grill ready to do what it is a man does when he looks to score points with the Missus. Cant let the ladies touch ya grill ya see. Next door the young mother has just gotten home with the little ones. Nice family. The oldest boy, I’m guessing 6 maybe 7 yrs old now, is making the best of being turned loose outside even tho it’s beginning to rain, fairly warm rain for this time of year. This young fella looks up to me a bit, however misguided that may be. I’ve taken him on 4 wheeler rides around our back yards, even took him to the pond fishing a couple years ago when it was obvious he was becoming a bit too much to handle while his mom was trying for some outside time with the newest baby. Sure is a handful. I look over and see his little sister join him. I prop my feet up with a cold one, sitting, listening and waving to the couples chatting as they walk down the hill in front of the house. Just as it’s coming up on dark I hear the sister wail, look over to see the younguns mom come striding out of their garage. “Jake! I’ve told you a dozen times not to hit your sister with the ball like that!” “I didn’t mean to hit her mom! It was an accident!” “I stood there and watched you throw that ball at her while she was sitting there with her back to you!” “Yea, well, she wouldn’t play catch with me!” I remember that conversation almost word for word from some 50 years back. He got his bottom burnt as they were going back thru the garage. My sister didn’t like playin catch either. Is that thing about burnin butts in a mom’s DNA? Back then mom used to light me up with a hair brush. The mom next door is still an amateur. She was just using her hand. Kids these days have it soooooo easy.

My mom is a Black Belt...she flat out just kicked my ass...I got beat with a hockey stick one time...her favorite was the water hose, or a extension cord! She broke my brothers collarbone one time...we needed whoopins like that...we were bad kids...

 

[BACKSTABBER]

My mom beat the pizz out of me with a bare broom handle one time, I dont even remember what I done but I remember that beatin. Ahh the good ol days....alot of folks these days need to beat some sense into their younguns

 

[BACKSTABBER]

Daddy, now after he had a stroke would use a hammer, screwdrivers, or fist if he didnt have anything in his hands at the time I screwed up. I think I turned out pretty good tho, no telling where Id be without some good azz whoopins

My mama kept switches off a peach tree...one on the fridge, one in the car... If the switch wasn't around she would use her hand, shoe...just whatever. My parents never abused me...I deserved EVERY whippin' I ever got!

[CRACKCORN]

My mom used to whoop me with a wooden spoon, so I broke it and threw it away, she just made me get a switch from the bush out back. She did that for a while until I cut the bush down and I blamed it on my sister.

 

[Taylor0208]

mom had one of the braided belts she get me with, that or the fly swatter, also a switch, and made me pick it and if it wasn't good enough i got it even worse!

well my mom had to get tough and use what ever she could find because the whole "im going to tell your daddy" never worked with me for some reason I was never scared of my dad, most of the time I could talk my way out of a whoopin with him..............BUT MOM OH HECK NA, she came a swingin and if you hand got in the way it was too dam bad, her motto was if you have to prove your innocence then your already guilty!

The fly swatter! hahaha...speaking of memories, you just jogged mine! There was a HUGE fly swatter hanging in the laundry room and it was blue and white, had a big Texas star in the middle... I don't know where it came from or anything...it just always hung there. My mom always threatened us with that, but never used it...it was HUGE!
