DITTOS!
Mom had a habit of turning around suddenly, arms flailing. Usually caught me right at the base of the nose, and a nice bloody nose would ensue.
Of course, it beat a friend of mine. His mom used the paddles from the ball, rubber band & paddle setup. She had three that was glued together, and had three holes drilled in it. That thing woudl whistle every time. Man, that's a sound *I* won't forget.
Of course, my mom & dad had given permission to the friends moms & dads to spank us as needed, with the caveat that they had to report back when we went home. That means we'd get it at home, too. Oh yeah, THAT was something we looked forward to.
