Maybe I should retract my words HH that I posted on another thread-that I would not refer to you as Hedda Hopper-the famous gossip columist.

I got whacked with a yard stick by a brother worker. It was a situation where he was fooling around with a bunch of us kids and all of a sudden he became serious and we didn't realize it. I was the only one that got whacked and it really stung!
Another time I almost got paddled by another older brother worker. I was playing around rather loudly outside and he evidently was trying to take a nap or rest or something and I evidently had disturbed him. He came out hopping mad and bawled me out. I do know of someone else that actually did get a paddling from a worker.
A lot of the older brother workers do not like kids very much unless they are very adult-like, and completely quiet and listen to their every word. In my day, children had to be "seen but not heard". A meal with the workers at our house was like a gospel meeting where you got to quietly eat. The workers encouraged our family to spank. I'm sure they still feel they were very right to give that advice because whenever they visited, they saw a perfect family with perfect kids. When the workers were not visiting, we lived in pure chaos, with plenty of abuse.

Sorry I don't approve of people whacking or spanking kids that aren't theirs.

Oh my friend HH I would never call you Hedda Hopper or a gossip columnist. I wouldn't want to tarnish my "reputation" as being a non-catty poster or have you, HH, retract the compliment that I am the "cat's meow".

Nah!
There were probably times when they wish they could, though.
There are still probably times. : > )
