You couldn’t be more wrong about #2 VT. IF I got a paddling at school or in trouble at a friends house, there was hell to pay when I got home.
When I was in the third grade my parents had to come up to the school for something I had done. I didn’t know they had been called in. We were in class and the principal came to the door and motioned the teacher over and said something to her. The teacher turned and told me to go to the hall. The principal was waiting on me and paddled my ass. Didn’t tell me why. My parents picked me up from school that afternoon and asked me when I got in the car if anything happened in school today. Of course I told them no. Got my ass tore up when I got home for what I had done in school and lying to my parents. Turns out they told the principal to go yank my butt out of class and tear it up. 🤨 Got in trouble in the first grade and my dad had to go to school. Got my ass tore up for that too when I got home. When he got done he pointed at a hoe handle and said he’d use that next time. 😲 Well, next day I got in trouble again and the teacher said she was calling my dad. Long story short, I took 10 licks in front of the class, with the class counting them down, to keep her from calling my dad. My mom used to tear our tails up for stuff and after my dad found out about it when he got in from work, he tore them up too.

In keeping with the biblical theme, I always cringe when I see/hear people talking about a loved one who passed and say things like "Heaven gained a new angel", or "Uncle Billy-Bob got his angel wings"......It's not even remotely biblical in any way, but if you try to point it out to them, you just look like an ass
This is true. I'm not biblical scholar, but to my understanding Angels are higher than us now, but when we go to heaven we will be higher than angels. "Do you not know that we will judge angels?" (1 Corinthians 6:3).

True. ~ I saw a back window sticker on a Silverado today that said, “Your wings were ready, but my heart wasn’t.” It does seem to always be a window sticker, doesn't it I'm not really sure why that bothers y'all? Do y'all feel the same about writings on folks Headstones? And NO i don't have any of said stickers, but y'all carry on now lol....

I’m admittedly a little biased because a specific one came to mind…on the back window of a car down the street from us. On the other side, she’s got 2 stickers that say “Doin that mom sh*t” and “milf’n ain’t easy” And to answer the inevitable question…….no, she’s not.

♦ When I was a kid, adults never wanted to let me have any coffee because, they said, it would "stunt your growth." ~~ Total nonsense. They just didn't want to share the coffee.
♦ "When I was a kid if I got a paddling at school, I got another one when I got home." ~~ Mostly nonsense. Just an old person flex.
♦ "Women love to gossip." ~~ True but so do men at just about the same rate.
♦ "My generation didn't behave like that when we were young." ~~ Nonsense. People been misbehaving and having premarital sex at least as far back as we have recorded history.
♦ "That bad decision is going to come back and bite them." ~~ Mostly nonsense. I'm the only person I know who has some serious, real regrets about decisions I've made.
♦ "God never puts more on you than you can handle." ~~ Total nonsense. Within Christian theology, God absolutely will put more on you than you can handle. If you could handle it in your own sufficiency and in your own strength, you wouldn't need God. You didn't grow up in my house when I was a kid or you would know #2 is the Truth.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Isn't that just like an old school parent? --> "So, did anything happen at school today?" If they asked that, you knew something was up.
