Dad's mom was. All of 4'11". Tough as boot leather. If the Church of Christ would have had nuns, she would have been one. She was at church at least 3 times a week. Moms mom was tougher and meaner than [bleep]. When you were told not to slide down the barn roof and went to the other side and did it anyway that women knew. Then when she said go get a willow switch and make it a good one or I’ll get one myself you made sure she didn’t get to pick one herself. Hand milked the cows herself until she was in her late 80s and all the other farm chores after my grandfather died

My Grandmother on my dad's side would make you go to the switch tree and cut your own when you got in trouble.
After trying to gain some sympathy by bringing a large piece to her once she gave me an extra dose of whooping.
I got to be good at dancing in a circle.
