Like you guys it was a belt from dad and whatever mom could find handy.

I do have to say the best non whipping i got was i believe my juniour year of high school. Soph and Seniors were taking tests so the freshmen and juniours had to sit in the cafeteria for 3 hours for 3 days. After the first day of boredom we decided to spice it up. Before school we went to the pet store and bought I don't know how many thousands of crickets, a small little garter snake and 5-6 mice to turn loose. We had a signal worked out and was just about ready. Of course I had 2-3 mice in the inside pocket on my jacket, and one had gotten out and when his head popped out of my jacket the girl across from me screamed. It was on, I stood up and threw all my mice while my buddies spread out across the cafeteria by classes and unassed their animals also. I would have been in trouble but not as much if a fight hadn't broken out. At that time we were constantly fighting with the mexican kids (south texas). One came over the table and launched himself at my cousin. He should have picked me, my cousin wasn't one to be messed with. Anyway kid gets knocked out and I look up and we must of had 30 kids fighting.
So I get suspended for a week. Mom comes home, by this time I'm quite a bit bigger than mom and haven't had a whippin in a while. I think she used every kitchen utensil and pot in the house on me, then she finished it off by saying wait until your dad gets home.
So an hour later I'm in the barn feeding my show steer. Dad walks in with a mean look on his face and shuts the door. He ask me if what he heard was true. I said yes sir. I was shocked when he just busted out laughing and said he would've like to have seen that. He said he's supposed to be whipping me right now so we better hang out a while until your momma cools down.
