I can say with all certainty that the whoopins I got with either a belt, big wooden spoon, or a hair brush, likely kept me from getting into too much trouble. However, it also left me somewhat bitter and resentful as I knew then and now, that it wasn't done to me out of love; rather out of frustration and anger. I'm all for giving a kid raw backside when they cross a line that was clearly drawn for them. I'm just not in favor of weapons being used or it being done in a fit a rage.
"The man who lies asleep will never waken fame, and his desire and all his life drift past him like a dream, and the traces of his memory fade from time like smoke in air, or ripples on a stream." -Dante Alighieri
