Pops used a straight razor strap. 😖
Mom(when I was very young and she was still around and normal) would make me go “pick a switch” when I would misbehave.
I’d come back with the smallest twig I could find, which made it even worse.
Neither one of us ever seemed to learn our lesson…

When the starting QB at Alabama is transferring, not because of competition or because his team sucks, but when the starting QB of a perennial championship contending program transfers, just because…
The game is in serious trouble.
Simpson either goes Pro or transfers because DeBoer has a 5* RS QB who he wants to start next season...

Folks didn't take the time to get a switch. Whatever was close enough for Mom to use, she used. Same for pops. If the strap wasn't handy, dad always had the belt, but I recall an extension cord and a hose pops used for siphoning gas being weapons of corrections.

Regardless, I deserved every single one and many more that I didn't get. Today, this would be considered abuse, but it was actually loving concern. Pops never spanked me in anger that I can recall. Plus he always explained to me what I did to deserve it and made sure I knew what was expected.
