Better to be beaten up upstairs than in jail. Just sayin.
If I was one of the cops I would have warned the little brat that if she ever disobeyed her great grandma again, she would get arrested and thrown in jail.........
Thank you! One of my greatest questions answered!
Sicilian heritage?
I wonder what the statute of limitations is on getting switched. I have about 3000 counts to file against my dad, including mental cruelty for making me cut my own switch.
LUCKY YOU!
They make awesome switches!...................
I think it was Hope, AR.
Cucchiara means “TABLESPOON” in Corsican....................
Yup. All 4 grandparents.
My grandparents were from Sicily.
So do the damn dogwood ones-I always hated the way they were very flexible-whistled through the air and was like a bee sting you could feel through shorts and on bare legs...
I sent this as a private reply to someone. I meant to make it public.
Johnny wants to be a builder
Did you hear about little Johnny? He is four years old. He was bugging Mother so she said, “Johnny, why don’t you go across the street and watch the builders work. Maybe you’ll learn something.”
Johnny was gone about 2 hours. When he came home his Mother asked him what he learned.
Johnny replied, “Well, first you put the ******* door up, then the son of a ***** doesn’t fit, so you have to take the **** sucker back down. Then you have to take a **** hair off each side and put the Mother ***** back up.
“Johnny’s Mother said, “you wait til your Dad comes home.”
When Johnny’s dad got home, mom told him to ask Johnny what he learned across the street.
Johnny told his dad the whole story.
Dad said, “Johnny, you go outside and get the switch.”
Johnny replied, “**** you, that’s the Electrician’s job.”
“Anyone here remember them switches? You used to have to go get off the tree yourself and take them leaves like that? I see them trees today, I will kill one of them m####f#####s, I will stop the car—say, ‘Wait, hold it!’ *Starts violently shaking the tree* You ain’t never gonna grow up! You won’t be beating nobody’s ass!”
-Richard Pryor
I’m always snippy! I’m sure you’ve noticed that by now.
I’m sorry, but the fact that the police involved seem to be OK with this is just another example of an out of control state. I’m sure you don’t see it that way, but I do. I’m sick to death of unaccountable brownshirts that want to micromanage every single aspect of our lives.
Makes sense. Not far from Corsica....................
Here in The South, dogwoods are practically considered holy, so no dogwood switches to be used. Hickory is common, I have one in front of my house I need to get rid of..................................
I had a switch used on me many times. Had stripes on the legs from it. Boy did they sting and yes they left little welts.
Lotta people really dote on the grandkids, but then it’s open season on generations after that.
