My grandmother would have me go out back to the apple tree and strip off my own switch.
And god forbid I got one that wasn't green and flexible... she'd drag me right back out there and strip one off herself and I'd get it TWICE as bad!

ahahahahaha absolutely. ;-))))
How can our upbringings have been so similar?

Me three. Damn I hated those switches my grandmother used to make me get.
My mother used to use the colored sticks that non-helium balloons were on at fairs and such. Those things hurt like hell and do NOT fall apart with age like a switch does. And then they'd wonder why we never wanted a balloon....
Wooden spoons were also a staple at our house along with having my mouth washed out with soap for talking back on MANY occasions. She'd scrape it against my teeth to make enough got in there and my Dad would walk in a few minutes later and give me gum.
But I can sure tell you what Camay soap tastes like.
