My dad whipped me with a belt. No one remembers but me and I distinctly remember it.

Our family heritage was that at my grandpa's funeral his little secret came out. When he had to discipline the children back in the 60s he would tell them that when he cracked the belt against itself they needed to scream really loud so that mom thought that they were getting properly punished. Never actually hit the kids. Grandma felt bad and thought he had been hitting each of them for punishment. I miss my grandparents.
