YEP!

My 1st grade teacher had me spend a lot of time with my nose in a circle she had drawn on the chalkboard. I had to tiptoe to get my nose in that circle!

I got spanked the first day of 1st grade by my principal. The teacher told me to quit talking and I just wouldn't shut up! I was quiet the rest of the year, even raised my hand before talking. There was a rumor that went around the school that the principal had an electric paddle and I was scared to death when I got sent to her office. I got another spanking from my grandfather when I got home because the principal had called him.

I was very lucky, I was never overly punished or beat. My mom tried to "spank" us and we would just laugh cause it didn't hurt, and she would being crying cause she didn't want to whip us, that made us laugh harder. My poor mom...she was a single mom. Me and my baby brother wore her out.

I don't know why, because my grandmother didn't spank that hard, but she was working and she told us(me,sister and cousin) to go bend over the couch so that she could spank us. She is a beautician and she works out of her home. Anyway, she was busy working and before she could come in the living room we all went in the bathroom and put toilet paper in our panties. When she realized it wasn't hurting us she made us pull down our pants and we got caught!

lol

I was only whipped once with a belt by my dad. He used to whip my brothers pretty bad. They were older than me. My mom told him if he ever hit me again she would leave. He never did. She slapped me across the mouth once when I was 16 because I sassed at her. She did switch my niece when she cussed at her. She used a Willow switch.

I have no clue, she would say "when I get off here, you are gonna get it" (meaning a spanking)...I remember us hiding when we heard her say good bye...lol. I remember hiding numerous times in the dryer and me and Brady would fight because that was the best hiding place...haha.

That's what I tell my kids now. I don't think that I would have fit in the dryer.
