Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Warning shots

I got the belt and the switch when I was a kid. Usually deserved it. My Dad didn’t say anything. He just got this crazed pizzed off look. I knew I was in for a butt whuppin.

After Mom, a Saint that never dealt an undeserved punishment, broke several yardsticks over my well toned and bony little ass Mom grew frustrated by the fact I relished in the destruction of another yardstick (free at Standard Brands…what kind of perverse store does that?) Mom decided to actually PURCHASE a metal yardstick. I explained to my younger siblings the significance of that fact and we all knew that this foretold of many spankings with no chance of breakage but the FACT Mom PAID for it meant Mom was serious!

The metal yardstick made a particularly heinous sound when Mom “unsheathed” it from alongside the furnace and pipes that held it in place. It sounded like what I imagine Excalibur sounded like when it was draw for battle. I can still hear it being unsheathed and Mom smacking the walls as she grew closer. I know now that the walls and the furnace took far more beatings than us kids but it was a sound to strike fear in young butts.

I’d happily take the biggest whipping of my life if I could have one more day with my Mom….

PS….By the time I moved out of the house at 18 that yardstick was so bent and battle-worn that I don’t think it was 28” long from end to end. 😂

Those 3 words…

FAFO

My Dad was still track star fast.

But don’t you have to go home at some point? I could outrun dad and I could climb trees better than Mom but I knew that I’d eventually get hungry and tired…..😂

my dads step brother would beat the crap out of his kids like he was fighting a man, knock them down, kick them etc. I have often wondered how many of them beat up their kids when they were grown..........

I’m surprised cashlessqueen hasn’t posted.

He’s the fire’s expert on “warning shots”.

Immediate condition one in case of a driver pushing a perimeter dog out of his vehicle and ready to torch some off in his direction

Also, if a light is near his structure 500 yards away, shots will be fired overhead

😂😂😂😂

GODDAMIT ROGER...

Sounds like a hell of a tenant. You probably oughta raise that rent from free, even if your head is a total ghetto dump. 😂

The belt was easy, it made more noise than it actually hurt.

The wire coat hanger stung a bit.

When my mother added my middle name when addressing me, I knew it was time to stop and make amends.

I might've said something to my mom, that I still regret. Dad appeared outta thin air. No warning. I learned something that day. A few things actually.

SOCKPUPPET

Dad was the only man to knock me out with a punch. After action report he wished he hadn't

My mom was a miserable bitch on her best days and batscheitt crazy on her worst.

There's nothing like being sound a sleep when your a kid and a [bleep] lunatic busting into your room at two or three in the morning raising hell and busting your azz for no reason.

After my Dad, may God Rest his soul, made me piss my pants one time that was the only time it took! Next lessons learned was I didn't tell Dad or Mom to wait a minute!!

My mother never said "when your father gets home". She took care of business right on the spot. She started teaching school in the late 50's. That woman was a professional azz whooper.

She could cause me to lock up, stand or sit still as the dead with one look.

Never got a whipping I didn't deserve though.

I knew I'd crossed the line when Mom sent me out to cut a switch off the big willow in the back yard. My wife said her mother carried a big wooden spoon in a quick draw holster.

One time my little sister discovered that if she cried and said I'd hit her, I'd get spanked. The 2d time she tried that, I figured that I was getting spanked anyway so let's make it for a reason. POW. There was no 3d time.

About the same for me.

When Mom started roll call, somebody was in trouble!
If she threw my only sister's name into the mix - somebody was likely to wish they died!
