Have you ever been switched? As a kid I would hear my Grandma talking about it. I think she liked switching my dad and his siblings.
One time when I was around 7 I was playing with a friend and we lit a campfire on one of my dads lots. He was a General Contractor and built houses. The lot hadn't been cleared yet so we had no problem gathering some starter wood. The fire took off pretty good and went higher than we expected. It was time to do something before we burned the lot down. Fortunately the lot next to us already had a house on it. I knew the people who lived there and they were more than willing to come over with their garden hose and put the fire out. To be honest it never got that big. The sad news is they called my dad.
He came over and got me. Of course he wasn't happy. Like I said the lot wasn't cleared yet. There were actually two lots side by side. My dad started lecturing me and decided to cut a switch and whip me right there. He didn't do a good job. The switch he picked wasn't whispy enough and it didn't hurt. That just made him more upset. He threw the switch in the ditch and we walked home.
Now don't think that was it and I got off. When we got home off came his belt and I got a good whipping.
That was my one and only switching.
So have you ever been switched?
