Did your mom carry a wooden spoon in her purse?

Question

My mom did when I was younger and would go shopping with her..and if we stepped out of line..we'd get hit right there in the frozen food section

Answer 1

My mom and grandma would pull the hair at the nape of my neck and man did that hurt, it also made you do some kind of stupid dance and people looking at me thought there was something wrong with me.

Answer 2

Absolutely not, my mother was probably the kindest person you'd met.
On the other hand, the nun's where I went to school, St. Phillips in North Minneapolis, Mn. carried around Worden rulers up their sleeves on those big cuffs they had. When you did something wrong, you could actually hear the whistle of the ruler going through the air, probably breaking the sound barrier as it came around, where-ever they caught you, it didn't matter to them. The head was a good spot, across the hand or bare arm, made a red mark that stood out for days. Then when they'd look at you during the next few days, they'd smile, like they enjoyed every moment of it.

Answer 3

mom never, but i did for a bit in the car....found out a flyswatter worked (faster and lighter weight) to stop my little 'darlings' from creating a major disturbance while i was driving

Answer 4

compared to some of the other things i have seen in some womens purses, that would be totally expected.

Answer 5

My mom used her hand. That's before discipline was considered abuse.

Answer 6

Damn!! Naw my moms never did that to us.
She'd just hook off on us if we acted out of character with her.

Answer 7

oh gosh yes. That is why we dont have wooden spoons here in my house! :-)

Answer 8

No. I guess she thought her hand was sufficient! B...h!
