Switches, they make great switches for beating children. My parents used to beat me with switches from the crepe myrtle in front of my house.
I do love crepe myrtles though, probably my favorite ornamental plant.
Ahhh childhood memories. Reminds me of the time my mom broke the wooden spoon over my ass and I looked at her and laughed, the laughing stopped a few seconds later.
Ever had a belt slung at you buckle end first, hit you in the neck and wrap around and have the buckle hit you in the eye ? That happened to me when I was like 13 and got caught smoking cigarettes. my mom tried to whoop me and I ran away until she caught me with the buckle end of the belt. Sucked.
Can't that I did, but I'm laughing picturing it happen to you. Kinda a bart simpson image in my head.
