Religion and Spanking

[Athene]

I was spanked as a child by both parents and some times was given the choice of which one. I chose depending on what I did and the response it would bring from which parent. Mom used switches and dad used the belt, hands were never used. I deserved every one I got and would have gotten more if I had gotten caught. 

Do you mean to say that as a child, you sometimes chose the switch over the belt? You're nuts! 
That sting is like fire.

A wicked aunt talked my mother into bringing a switch home after a visit down in the country. Much, much, much worse than a belt. Switches leave plenty of welts, and can easily break a child's skin in the hands of angry, or even mildly annoyed parent. After getting spanked by my mother (my father just used a belt) with the switch a few times, I decided it had to go; I broke the thing into a bunch of sticks and tossed the pieces out back. 

"Someone hid my switch! Where is it?"

"It wasn't me...I don't even know where to hide a switch!"
