Connie, that too. But what I meant was he should be SPANKED! Maybe I used a Pittsburgh Expression!
My mom used to say she was going to tan our britches for us! or paddle our backsides! She was more threat than action. She used the old "just wait until your father gets home" and "do you want me to have your father get his belt?"
None of which fazed me. I only remember one spanking in my life, and she gave it to me. I guess I needed it. I never forgot it anyway. Dad never laid a hand on us so that was no threat.
