This is kind of a spin off thread from the Judge Adams video thread. After watching the video it got me thinking about all the times I got beat. I'm sure that not everyone grew up getting "whipppings" but for those who have share your stories.
One of my most memorable has to be a surprise attack from ma dukes when I was in elementary school. When I was younger I got in trouble for cutting up in school and got sent home with a letter that was to be signed by one of my parents. When I got home I was shook because I knew when ma dukes got home and saw the letter she was going to trash me and it was going to be a wrap for going to my friends party that weekend. So me, being the little bad $%+ that I was, figured I could out smart the system and tried to forge my mom's signature on the letter.
I did it by taking an old report card that she signed and put in on the tv under the letter that was to be returned the following morning. With the tv on, the old signature was clearly visible and made tracing it easy. I did what I thought was a good job and took it to the teacher the next day like it was all good, and the teacher took it, looked it over, and said thank you and told me to have a seat. I went through the day like
thinking that I had beat the system and avoided punishment. I got home that day still feeling on top of the world and went on with my life like everything was all good. Things continued as normal all night and even got better when we got to order my favorite food of pizza for dinner. After eating, there was no doubt in my mind that I had to beat the smartest kid ever and had beat the system and avoided punishment. Later that night when it was bed time, I did my usual routine and went and laid in bed beaming at the thought of what I thought I had accomplished.
Later that night after falling asleep, I was woken up to a loud bang which turned out to be my mom kicking my door open like the swat team. I didn't even get a chance to ask what was going on before she was on me with the belt. She beat me in my bed for a solid 15 minutes before she made me get up and go to her room where I was thrashed for about another 40 minutes until she was tired. After that she made me stand in the corner while she laid down. I wasn't even allowed to lean on the walls or else she would threaten to start up again. After everything was all said and done, I was able to piece together what happened from what my mom was yelling at me while trashing my $%+. Apparently, my teacher knew it was a forgery the whole time and called my mom at work and told her what happened. I got played by my teacher and mother that day all the while thinking I'd gotten over on the both of them.
Looking back, a lot of the whippings I got could easily be considered abuse in today's society. Do I think it sometimes got a bit excessive? Maybe. Would I go back and change any of it or tell if I could. Nope. My mom did her best she could in raising me and my siblings and when we stepped out of line she punished us. Simple as that. We all learned and have all become better people because of our upbringing.
I know this is kind of long, but I got caught up in thinking about that day.
