How were you disciplined as a child?

My mother had a vicious stare down, and then had a left like a cuban welterweight.
Not a woman to be trifled with.

and i believe you, but you didn't need it to put food on
the fam's table like every other hardscrabble ebro.
families that take in vietnamese refugees aren't
gonna be struggling too bad.

lol, nope I put it in the bank. My mom worked in a Credit Union, so I had an account there in 4th grade. I actually had a "job" in 4th grade at that credit union (forgot about that). I helped clean it on weekends. I dusted and took out the trash. I was paid $40/mo. Not bad for an 8-9 year old kid (back in 1980-81). I got the paper route in 5th grade.

I used to order pizzas and write out a check when the guy was standing at the door. I'd write a check sometimes when I was buying something at a store (wrote a check for a new BMX bicycle). I also had an ATM card (before they were also Visa Debits - used to be they only worked at the cash machine). I thought I was cool. lol.

Man, I can't believe you remember about the Vietnamese!

My daddy beat the fuck out of me and threw me in the brigg.
