I'm not talking street fight, I'm talking your parents giving you a whipping(or whatever you call it in your parts). I'm well aware some of you probably never got whipped, so I hope you get a good laugh out of this.
I remember two in particular. The first was when my mom had gone shopping and bought 2 wooden african spoons and a fork. I was 6. My brother pissed me of somehow, and so no thinking of it, I grab one of the spoons and chase him around. I broke it swinging at him, and my mom just so happened to walk in the door when it happened. The expression on her face changed as she grabbed the broken end and beat the shit out of me with it.
The second time I really deserved. I had to have been 7 or 8. It was a school night, and me and my brother were 5 houses down the street at my friend Chips house. Chip was that lucky guy who seemed to get all the best nintendo games as they came out. Well, normally I would go home at 8, but by 12 midnight we weren't thinking of going home. it wasn't long before my mom and my other brother came and got us. She was so mad, she didn't even say anything. The look she gave us was enough to know what was coming. As soon as she opened the door and I stepped in, she yanked my pants down and proceeded to whip my ass with a piece of wood. This proceeded for 6 or 7 minutes. I had that delayed crying going on, and she said those magic words "Shut up, before I give you something to cry about!" And once those words are spoken, you immediately do your best to shut the fuck up.
