oh, the spankings, which for me, were applied with a fresh cut, by me, cherry switch did draw blood on a fairly regular basis, but, the way i look at it now, looking back, i would always, and i mean ALWAYS, do something to deserve em, LOL but they stopped when i was around 10, i gotten outta that phase, then when i hit teenage years, well, i started being a lil crap head, yeah, im smart, sometimes too smart for my own good, IQ of 146 an all that good crap, doesnt mean jack if u dont do anything with it LOL.
and the knocking out, well, it had gotten to the point where i was mouthing off to him on a regular basis, this was about 4 years after the rents divorced, had been goin on for about 6 months or so, finally he said, son, if you think you're man enough, feel free to give it your best shot, and stuck out his chin. I hit him just as hard as i could, only to hear him laugh at me, and hear myself going, oh *&^&, he said thats right boy, and i dont remember anything til i woke up about half an hour later. from that point on, everything was great LOL i did my hw everyday, without fail, my grades went from d's an f's to a's and b's, even the knock out couldnt cure my ADHD LOL and to this day, me an my dad are best friends, i live 3k miles away from him now, on the other side of the country, and i call him at least 3 times a week, and every weekend, without fail, even if its just to say hi, how ya doin dad, sometimes we have those hour long bs sessions, he's my dad, my best friend, and gonna be my best man, and i cant wait to give him a grandson that carries on the family name. and i can honestly say, it really wouldnt be that way if he hadnt done what he did to me 13 years ago
