My brother, my two cousins, and me were spanked as kids. By my grand mother when we deserved it. We were spanked with a fly swat or what we nicked named the "switch tree" the bush by the back door. It had long vines that grew out of the main bush. We always got them on the behind. Occasionally we were spanked with her hand. Weal so got spankings from our parents.
Well we all turned out fine. None of us went to prison. In fact our parent got spankings also.
We only got them only after we were told to stop and when we deserved them. Like tearing off tag on clothes, running through the clothes on the round racks of clothes, pulling clothes off the tables, knocking over games and puzzles, etc.
We are not afraid of any of them, to this day. We never had bruises left on us, EVER, Also, the last time one of us got one was when were 12 and the was 15 years ago. The youngest of us is 27 now.
