That would typically have been one grandmother with a 1/4" diameter peach limb about 3 feet long so she didn't have to run so fast (because she was kinda built like a washing machine), or the other grandmother with a 2 foot long wooden spoon. All bets were off if mom pulled her shoe off. It's no wonder "He's such a wonderful kid" was said a lot more back then than it is now.

All I know is as the son of an old Army nurse who was a child of the Great Depression and consequently NEVER threw anything out, AND who’s cure for ANYTHING was the family enema bulb…it was not a very happy experience being the youngest of 6 with just a scratch on my arm, staring at that fully-depreciated enema bulb.
It was barely rubber-like by the time it got to me, and similar to getting my prostate examined by a leper who was down to his last finger.

I didn’t jog. I ran.
