Roundup didn't exist then (damnit), only one of these:
The chore that also doubled as punishment.

Now that I think back on it, I'm pretty sure that it was an old screwdriver. Proper gardening implements were pretty rare at the Fireball house. That wasn't considered punishment, BTW, despite the onerous nature of the task. It was something that the man-children did. We were extremely heavily segregated by sex for our tasks. Boys didn't do dishes, and girls didn't do yard work. The boys were also not allowed to make their own beds, if you can believe that. I learned how to make a bed in Boot Camp in the US Navy! The trauma! :lol:
