A Good Trimmin’ Up
Hey any of you ever get a good trimmin’ up??? (That’s what my Dad called a good whoopin’) =o) Well my Momma & Daddy were busy folk and didn’t have time to take us to the old Woodshed for a whoopin’! So they had their own special technique!
We laugh & tell my Mom she killed the old Peach Tree because she pulled off too many limbs to whip us kids!! Mom called it giving us a little “Peach Tea”!!! Boy does a Peach Tree limb that has been stripped of the bark, sting!! Kinda makes ya do a dance! Know what I mean Vern?? But hey, it made a believer out of me & ole Brother Bill!!! And my Dad’s choice of punishment was … a good hiny (butt) kickin’!
Now I have to admitt, we deserved every lick Mom & Dad gave us & even more!! And none of it scarred us for life! In fact it helped us know our boundaries!! For just like any kid, we pushed to the limit! I do believe I am a better person because Mom & Dad actually loved me enough to discipline me!! =)
How about you?? Daddy says a good whoopin’ will make ya see the light!!! ~San
