She was handy with a heavy pink hairbrush. Had to cut my own switch a few times. Oh well. Thumped my kids a few times. Just like dogs, does not seem to help! Strop woulda been a cruise, next to the switch!

I saw friend's parents use a switch on their kids, a mom usually, and saw and felt the consequences of the switch by having a few switch sparring sessions with friends.....the switch also can easily teach you the meaning of welt! OUCH!
Funny mentioning the hairbrush brought back the memory of the last time I was (hit). My mom in a state of fiery rage picked up her hairbrush, a frequent tool in the past, and started to swing at my head with it..I put a hand up to block the brush and it shocked her so much she yelled up the stairs crying....'Bill, he wouldn't let me hit him!' Big Bill yelled back down, 'What the hell do you think Pat, he is 11years old!' That was the last of any corporal punishment. From there on out, it was psychological torture, which is much worse.
