I have come to find some humor in yesterday’s subject of profanity or dirty words. I saw someone’s remark that they didn’t understand my comment about washing your mouth out with soap and I realized that probably a lot of folks never heard that before. When I was growing up that was very common and believe me I had my mouth washed out more than once. A dirty word meant a dirty mouth and that meant you were marched to the bathroom, usually pulled along by the ear, which makes me wonder why my left ear isn’t bigger than my right. Today that would probably be cruel and unusual punishment. Spare the rod and spoil the child was another common saying and belief. My dad kept a leather belt in the closet just for that purpose and both my sister and I felt the wrath of that many times. Imagine a child showing up at school with welts on their bottom today, the cops would beat at your house with a warrant within the hour. I remember when my daughter was raising her children in the 90s she used the time out method and I thought no way that would work. Well today I have 5 wonderful grandkids so I guess it works . I remember as the belt was coming out of the closet my dad always said this is going to hurt me more than you----seriously? Then why didn’t he give me the belt to hit him? Oh and I found out the comic book in the seat of the pants didn’t work but I wonder if it put a little grin on his face, I couldn’t see cause I was bent over his knee looking at the floor. I also remember all us kids bragging about the severity of our punishments and trying to outdo each other. Oh yaa well my dad uses a belt with nails in it or the big brass buckle end. Those were the days; I hope I sparked some memories and maybe a grin or two.
