I had the paddle ball thing, and my dad took the paddle, and used it as a design to made a wooden paddle out of a 2inch piece of wood. I used to get hit with that. One time, I didn't want to get hit with it, and i locked myself in the bathroom. I got in a lot of trouble for that one.

NWFlyer 2 #7 October 10, 2006 I don't think we were ever spanked with anything harder than my father's hand. Though there was always the threat of him getting his belt out, I'm not positive that he ever used it. We were spanked infrequently enough and for things that we really deserved it... generally just the threat of a spanking was enough to make us settle down and start behaving. I think one of the reasons my parents didn't end up having to do all that much spanking is that from an early age, they set expectations for our behavior, and if we didn't meet those expectations, there would be consequences (don't get to do something we wanted to do, didn't get a toy we wanted, etc.). Spanking was a last resort, but since we'd been "trained" early to be good kids, it rarely had to be used."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to get hit with that. My dad made a wooden paddle out of 1/4" plywood and used to wear my ass out with it when I misbehaved. Although it made me behave, a couple of those paddlings today would have landed him in jail when my ass bled.
