Child abuse by today's standards


I’ve had a few of those busted on my butt!
Hey Oz, do you remember the the old Sav-on store there at 55th & Kaw Dr.? They gave away balloons on a skinny round stick -
the perfect whuppin’ switch!
As kids, we always made sure the “switch” disappeared when the balloon popped!
Those things hurt worse than a yard stick! 😩

I recall both and after it broke there were 2 whipping sticks.


I got acquainted with more weapons of choice than I can count.

2" wide leather belt was top of the list

With ten of those yard sticks you can make a first down and not worry about the other rough housers acting up on the bench 🤣

It's a weapon of your asz destruction but the switches were better for busting britches
