I once saw my mother's mother ring a chicken's neck. After that, believe me, the grandchildren gave her NO problems.

My grandmother the country schoolteacher KILLED SNAKES! With a hoe! Showed NO MERCY!

She had the best disciplined fifth grade in the entire county. LOL!

Unintended consequences? LOL!

I HELPED my grandmother wring more than one chicken's neck. Also worked endless hours of unpaid garden drudgery for her as a teenager, helped my granddad break horses and build roads, etc. I barely tolerated it then, but they are some of my favorite memories now. How I miss them...
