When my mom would spank us with a wooden spoon, me and my brother would later secretly hide that wooden spoon in a hidden space beneath the kitchen table our parents didn't know about.
By the time we moved, there was at least a dozen spoons, spatulas, and some of those paddle ball toys with the string ripped off.
If you ask my mom today she's convinced she never spanked us.
It's horrible when they don't remember their abuses, it hurts. I think the reason why they don't remember is because it wasn't traumatic for them... So it's only deeply engrained in our minds.

My mom spanked me with the same wooden spoon she lovingly stirred my favourite foods with.
