re: What childhood spanking still pops up into your head as an adult

My brother and I got caught smoking my grandmothers carton of cigarettes one Saturday morning watching cartoons. The Smurfs to be exact

He was 10, I was 7. My mom beat the hell out of us when she walked in and caught us. And then she told my dad when he got home from work and he did the same

One of my first memories was getting lost here at the local mall. It was around the time of the Adam Walsh ordeal way back when so that made the situation a bit more dramatic. I had stopped at a talking soda machine and thought it was the coolest thing in the world and when I turned around, I didn’t see my mom so I just started walking. I don’t know how long I was lost, but when they found me, my mom was crying…hugged me and took me to the bathroom and kicked my arse
