Making it feel better

Back in the late 1940's and '50s it was not mean, cruel, inhumane, sinful or child abuse to give a naughty child a few swats on their "hinie". One day mom thought I needed a few swats for something I had done, so she laid me across her lap. When she gave me a swat, even though it was't that hard, she broke a blood vessel in her hand. This hurts a lot! She immediately let me go and grabbed her hand. I backed up a few steps, started rubbing my hinie, smiled up at her and said "I can make it feel better mommy." Her hand was throbbing , I was rubbing and smiling and she said "oh just get now, get on out of here".

    Brennan has something he says "he needs something to feel him better" this story reminds of of what he says.

    Brennan sounds like he has done some very similar things as I did as a little one. I have one granddaughter in particular is a lot like I was. A confident, precocious child and knows she is very cute and funny.
