Who got paddled in school?
Me: Way more than once.
Choice 3 is if you're younger and they had already banned corporal punishment in school.
@LowEndMuse My 7th grade math teacher told me "You know that to get a mule to do something you first have to get it's attention; a 2x4 works wonders for that."
I told him off, because we owned mules (Henry, Little Joe, and Bubbles), and they were smarter than most people.
Got whaled on for back talk. Mom & I never told Dad, because he'd have gone after that prick - with a 2x4.
