You know, one of those straps barber's would use to sharpen knives? Yeah - that had my name on it although I only remember it a couple of times.<BR/><BR/>The wooden spoon or ruler was used more often in our household. I'm pretty sure Mommy used it because it was easier to get us with the long spoon as opposed to running after us.Just Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319979358490985604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832939593215466611.post-23049831675026842662007-11-09T16:47:00.000-08:002007-11-09T16:47:00.000-08:00I loved the little Rascals.

It didn't make the next spanking sting any less.<BR/>Also effective is pulling on the tiny hairs that grow at the nape of the neck. Oh yah. It's subtle. It's quiet. It packs quite a punch (not literally ; )Scoobershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635858972639654005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832939593215466611.post-71154117150834770202007-11-08T18:44:00.000-08:002007-11-08T18:44:00.000-08:00I remember "Yum, Yum Eat'um Up" for the Little Ras...I remember "Yum, Yum Eat'um Up" for the Little Rascals.

With the spoon. And she dug her nails into my arm at the grocery store on MANY occasions. I hated that worse than spanking! And I often heard "wait until your father comes home!" And he'd come in and take his belt off. I don't remember getting whacked with it though. <BR/>But the yum yum eat 'em up story...that would sure have worked with me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
