Ahhh...Switches...My Grandmothers fav. I remember us grandkids playing with the chickens my Grandmother told us NOT TO BOTHER...LOL! She stood on the back porch and watched.....with a 3 foot switch...arms crossed.... Four swats a piece! I miss my Grandmother!
The lady next door stood with a broom at the edge of the walk to make sure the kids didn't go on her lawn. Of course, when she wasn't around, I made a point of stepping on it. When I made my first confession at age 7, I confessed to stepping on Mrs. Cullian's lawn.......500 times.
