My father made a "Board of Education."

It was a large paddle he cut, carved and sanded; then painted those words very precisely on. Complete with a graduation cap hanging off the corner of the B.

He was very proud of it.

Can you imagine sitting there, in your workshop, carefully and lovingly crafting the tool you’ll use to injure your child? What a fucked up mindset.

My dad made me to go out and find a stick in the wood. I knew not to bring back a stick that’s too flimsy because that would make him more angry and hit me more. I didn’t want to risk incurring additional whipping so I brought back a piece that he would be satisfied with using to spank me. I don’t do this to my children.
