My mother was “infested” with children (btw, I think that is funny). Five kids in 6 years and we would follow quietly behind her everywhere we went. How did she do it? She’d paddle our asses right in front of God and everyone. “If you embarrass me in public, I’ll em-barr-ass you right back.” The people at Lazarus (now a defunct clothing store) received a real good view of my brother’s butt. Spare the rod, spoil the child was the foundation of our home.

Which is now largely another museum displays in the West.

The Amish keep it alive and well. I’ll bet it isn’t as archaic as some believe it to be.

I used it.
