I did tons of mistakes when I was young so I got beaten up a lot.
When I was 5, I was tired of seeing that little blond kid at schoool getting all the attention and generally being the teacher's pet.
So I decided to become blond too. I waited for my parents to fall asleep and put tons of cheese cream on my head.
My mother woke up and saw me and what had to happen happened...
Also once with my brother and sister we hid the stick which she used to beat us with !
She was pissed off and was searching the whole house for it... Well since she couldn't find it she decided to take her own rolling-pin !
I can assure you we gave her her stick back right away !
I don't know what's my opinion on "ass whooping", it's kinda blurred really.
On the one hand it was always weird and frightening to see my mother "transform" when she was angry at us.
I mean, a delicate, beautiful, soft speaking woman you would have never expected her to hurt a fly !
Moreover I never learned anything from those "beating sessions" and I continued to misbehave when I felt like doing it....
Yet, on the other hand, I think it made me a tougher person !
