Did you hear about the new Italian assault weapon restrictions?

LOL!!! I was " assaulted" with one of those every day of my life, when I was a kid!!! My grandmother actually broke one across my back side once and then got even madder at me because she broke her good sauce spoon.

 

Its about time they passed a "Common sense" law.

MY grandmother had one of those 3 foot salad type spoons that just hung on the wall. I remember her chasing us with that calling us you little SOB's i am going to get you.

When I started dating my girlfriend 29 years ago (who has been my wife for 21 years now) my MIL had a few of those spoons strategically hanging on her walls to keep my younger BIL in check. But what kept me in check was my FIL's double barrel 12ga over the woodstove. LOL!

Yeah they hurt believe me! Ouch!

Grandma used to chase my sister and me with the wooden spoon when we misbehaved.  We were quicker, but she caught us once or twice!  She's from Italy and was brought up "old school."

I'm an old European and I caught a great deal of those back in the day, don't mess with GrandMas.... lol old school works....

Same here when the spoon broke it was my fault!!!!!!!!and I got even more   LOL

Another popular "back up"  was one of those wooden paddles, from the rubber ball on an elastic string game. Back then the paddles were made of wood and were pretty heavy. They didn't hurt as much as the spoon but they still hurt.

I think the only reason my mother, grandmothers and aunts ever bought them for us is because they knew that the string would break, within a day or so, and they would have a nice little "back up".

Dang ...I had a 3rd grade teacher that routinely pulled one of those out of her desk!...I think they were the "weapon" of choice for all nuns...lol

My Great Grandmother would whack me with a Whammo Paddle.  The paddle that had the rubber ball attached by the long rubber band. The ball and rubber band were gone, but the paddle was always kept out on the counter for when my brothers and I got out of hand.

 

My Grandmother just used the traditional wooden spoon.

A little late for that restriction for me... the damage has already been done... between that and hotwheels tracks... my mom had a whole arsenal of affective weaponry

[Karpteach]

Il Duce' nona needed to beat his arse a little more with the Italian assault weapon!!

There was a 6" "smile" in my grandmothers molding by the front door that I asked about one time. My mother told me that it was from a frying pan my grandmother threw at my uncle when he came home too tipsy and very late. While much of that house was re-painted over the years, she would never allow that touched up...good reminder for all those who entered. Respect the rules and all is ok.
