When I was growing up the most terrifying words my Dad ever said were: Bring me my belt.

My Dad had one belt.
It was used on Sunday to hold his trousers up and Monday through Saturday to discipline children.

BTW, Monday through Saturday he wore overalls. No belt required.

[Hebrews 11:6]

My dad used a piece of baseboard molding he called "the stick."

"Go get the stick."
