My mother never though anything at us or smacked us. She was just really good at saying NO when you wanted to do something, that she did not feel that you deserved to do because you had miss behaved, or she would "Punish" a favorite toy or such. My father on the other hand, spanked, slapped (me), punch, kicked & through my much older brothers. I never got hit that I did not deserve to be punished & I mostly got Lectured about why what I did was wrong & those were a MILLION times worse than the spankings!!!La chancla is basically a flip flop or sandal that your mom takes off her foot and throws at you if you're out of range of a good smack with the palm of her hand. Their ability to aim those things is uncanny and sometimes when you're still small you swear they can boomerang around corners and hit you when you think you're far enough away. Levels of intoxication have seemingly no effect on aiming abilities and range, in my experience.They have also been known to fend off large reptiles:
Every Generation punishes differently. Baby Boomers mostly got spanked, in my experience. Hell I even got spanked at School one. It was laughable. :) Personally I preferred the spanking to ALL other forms of punishment. Why, because they quick & over with!!! :)
