The Parents who drugged us!!!
At my 50th high school reunion a friend asked me, 'Why didn't we have a drug problem when we were growing up?'
I replied that I had a drug problem when I was young:
I was drug to church on Sunday morning.
I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.
I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.
I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie,
brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the pastor, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.
I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity.
I was drug out to pull weeds in mom or grandma's garden and flower beds.
I was drug to the homes of neighbors to help mow the yard, repair the clothesline, and if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, my dad would have drug me back to the woodshed.
Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin, and if today's children had this kind of drug problem, the USA would be a better place.
God bless the parents who drugged us.

Me too. My dad had a little friend he named BIG MAC. It was an inch thick, about two feet long, with a handle and had a bunch of holes drilled through it. He said it reduced wind resistance. LOL! He didn't get to use it very often. Damn, that thing felt like getting stung by a thousand hornets.

Awww! Come on! You are exaggerating here! A thousand?

Maybe one on each cheek!
I hope my adult kids see this the same way, because they are people that I'm very proud of, and happy for. Ours was called 'The Boss.'
Don't tell anybody though! :shock: I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is on child battery! :shock:

I was on the receiving end. It was a thousand. My dad was a gymnast. He could swing that thing pretty hard! My butt was on fire for at least 15 minutes.

My kids felt the same, and went about their business. I had to find new ways to 'punish' them!! Geez! That was a lot of work!! Just trying to out think them was a full time job!!

BTW, not that it matters, but my parents beat the crap out of us, ignored us, and can't understand why we are independent of them.
Family politics.......
