My dad caught me gambling at age 13. I copped body shots, left and right. It was not hard but I peed on my pants. Never tasted drugs, cigarette or got drunk in my whole life. Last time I tasted beer was over 20 years ago. No wine either. I thank my parents for the belt, cane and anything that landed on our bodies.
My son (13 turning 14 next week), my daughter (16 yrs old) and I were watching the show "can of worms" on TV the other night. The topic was smacking the kids. I told my kids to smack their children the way I did to them. My son commented that I dont smack them anymore. I told them they dont need it anymore. They have learned well. For the record, I did not use sticks or anything hard to discipline my children. I used rubber thongs ( the foot wear, not the underwear) or bare hands on their bum. I never went beyond 3 strikes.
I used belt once on my son when he scared the hell out of everyone at around 2 AM. Someone was quietly walking inside our room. We thought someone invaded our place. The lights were off and it was total darkness in our room. My wife and I were careful not to react as we might scare the intruders and hurt us. I pretended to take a pee, I even said it out loud. Once I was up, I went to the kitchen and grabbed a weapon (12 inch knife). I slowly creeped back to our room and turned on the light. There by the closet was our son around 8 years old by that time. He said he woke up and cant get back to sleep. Can you imagine what I was holding? I dropped the knife, grabbed the belt and gave him 2 or 3 hits in his bum. Since then, he made sure he wakes us up if he needs something. That was the worst I hit any of my children. It never happened again.
Back to the survival menu, here is another one from me. Learned during the trying times when I was young and my parents needed to be creative.
What you need:
Egg
Garlic (optional)
Onion, sliced (half or a quarter)
Salt, oil and water
Saute the garlic till brown. Add the onion. Pour 2 cups of water. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Break the egg and drop the yolk and white (albumin). Simmer until the yolk cooks. Enjoy your hot soup or pour the solid bits and some of soup on top of steamed rice and tadaaaaaaaa.
OF ALL THE THINGS I LOST, I MISS MY MIND THE MOST.
