that would be bad, i agree, in my house though it was a bit different... after my two older brothers outgrew getting spanked by hand, dad moved up to the leather belt... after they outgrew THAT, that's when he upgraded to the dreaded "switch"... only this being the last part of the 20th century (the 70's and 80's), he went high-tech... a fiberglass fishing rod, same size and shape, but MUCH sturdier... by the time i was around to notice things like that, they turned 18 and one joined the Air Force as an MP, and the other in the Marine Corps. respectively... from all I've heard, they had NO problems there and were considered "model soldiers"...GlytchMeister wrote:Ahhh, the dreaded paddle.

Re: Mommy Rules 2015-04-07
In a part of my cultural heritage it is well known that if a switch is to be administered, the added insult to injury was that you had to go harvest your own switch off of the tree. And woe be the one that skimped on switches.
Pops was old school and from Chicago- he used his hand. Moms otoh, never really hit us hardly, except one or twice, and at that point it was with what ever was at hand. (I still recall my brother being administered to with a section of hot wheel track...).

Re: Mommy Rules 2015-04-07
Adults, in spite of the fact they were that age once themselves, can indeed be clueless, but teenagers sometimes need elder gods called down on them to get them to pay attention. For actual adults, the statement of: "Pay no attention to what other say," is a summery of decades of suffering and experience acquired without remembering the decades of struggle that got them to that summery. To a teenager it's the same as: "I have nothing in common with you so I'll say something flippant to get you to shut up." Perversely, they are both correct.

Ok, no one else seems to have asked for clarification about this, so it might just be me that hasn't heard it before, but
"ground you until you're blue"
I'm missing the background of that saying :p
yes, I could google that saying to find out, but where is the fun in that

I dunnno, re: "until your blue"; I think it's like 'hold your breath until your blue"... type thing.
And, apropos of almost nothing at all; Atsali is a slight blue herself already, I mean shes pale but not Albino...

re: Blue
what I was trying to say, poorly, was that Atsali seems to be slightly tinted Blue anyway.
But I also think that the 'holding your breath' thing is maybe a part of it too.

it come from the same source as talk till your blue in the face. it means till your out of air and pass out. lest that makes sense to me. yea talk till your blue was used in the USAF at lot. usally in referqance to officers and diplomats.

Re: Mommy Rules 2015-04-07
then you'd be getting ANOTHER walloping for trying to pull off that type of cheat, in addition to the one you had to get the switch for in the first place... especially if they have to go get one themselves because you keep getting unsuitable switch material...GlytchMeister wrote:See, if I had that when I was a kid, I'd pick out a log too big to swing.TazManiac wrote:In a part of my cultural heritage it is well known that if a switch is to be administered, the added insult to injury was that you had to go harvest your own switch off of the tree.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that Kath has simply mixed her metaphors in her haste to chastise Atsali. Occam's Razor, people.

Something just occurred to me today (Friday... I just got home from working some overtime...)
Atsali is so upset, she didn't sensor herself, and let a swear word out!

Re: Mommy Rules 2015-04-07
I wonder how many people went back and checked.
Kinda like how those chain emails skip a number, then tell you you didn't notice, then say you went back up and checked if it really did skip a number.
