60 years ago I came home from my first day at grade school afraid to tell my mother my teachers name was Mr Dam because I was sure I would get my mouth washed out with soap. ‘‘Twas rough times back long ago!

Ah yes, washing your mouth out with soap and water ... the gentle form of parental correction.

God fucking damn I hated that worse than being hit.

3” razor strap with all our names written on it. My wife had to force me to go to my mother’s funeral!

I just refused to go to my grandfather's ... don't have to turn down my mother's because there's not going to be one. Yay.

I never had an emotional problem with giving my baby up for adoption, I would have repeated the cycle. It was the right choice practically speaking, too.

Couldn’t even use dang as a replacement word. She made my world the hell she was trying to keep me away from.

Too funny. The Wayside Inn General Store in Marlborough, MA has the same motto on its building. XD
