I was looking for Charlene, but I think she's already gone back to the
mountains. Maybe Barney still has that book of his. I just saw something
and was wondering if it was any kind of a sign or omen. What does it mean
when you see an automobile mechanic up a tree flying a upsidedown fake owl
on a string?
Now that's got to have some sort of meaning. Maybe I ought not to travel
this week.

I don't mean to be cantankerous, but can we get back on topic here please?
This list is devoted to The Andy Griffith Show. It is not the "let's all
talk about the discipline we received when we were children" list.

Yep! I sure do, My mothers' Father had one hanging on the back of the bathroom
door and it was a Good tool for keeping all us youngin's in line. Just the
thought of getting a spankin' from it was enough. NOw my younger brother Dwight
was the one to push the envelope on getting Mom mad enough to whup him. One
summer after Mom had told him not to go up the road to our Uncles house he went
and did it any way. Mom got one of them peach tree swithes and chased him home
and everytime he slowed down she gave him a swat. My brother learned mom ment
bussiness after that and didn't test the waters so much :-)

Just have to weigh in on the "spanking" and "whipping" question that
is being currently discussed. (Not sure if there is a difference here
with "whupping")
To begin with- my discussions with of some of the writers of TAGS and
Richard Link, Andy's agent - confirm that Andy used his personal
experiences growing up in Mount Airy NC to "Salt & Pepper" all the
episodes in "Mayberry" with "real" stuff - I feel that's one of the
reasons it has lasted so long.
As some of you know, I grew up in Mount Airy during the same years as
Andy. In fact, my Grandfather was the real Justice of the Peace when
we were growing up there, and he left me playing checkers with the
policemen while he went upstairs to the courtroom to hear cases.
While I don't know what the situation was in Andy's family -in mine
there were specific differences between what was called "spanking"
and what was called "whipping." My understanding of "spanking" kind
of followed the dictionary definition: "to strike on the buttocks
with the open hand." That was very infrequent, Thank Goodness!
Wondered if that was because the hand doing the spanking also
received some impact.
BUT, when my dear grandmother deemed me to have broken a "rule" or
had transgressed in some way - she would admonish me - and then
send me out to "cut your own switch."
We had a large yard and garden area with many plantings. I, of
course, would come back with the smallest, flimsy wooden branch I
could find and present it to her as the instrument for my punishment.
In virtually every case, Grandmother would send me back out to find
a better, "PROPER switch." It sometimes took three or four tries to
find one that satisfied her.
When she did "whip" my little legs with the switch, it was at most a
"stinging" feeling. Most of the time, by that time I had apologized
repeatedly and gotten a "good talking to" by my grandmother. That
generally was the end of the matter and the switch was never used.
I certainly DON'T support beating a child with belt or any other
instrument, but think we may have swung the pendulum too far the
other way. Many of the children I've encountered appear to have been
raised with a total lack of discipline or respect for others.
In later years, I was privileged to work with Dr. Haim Ginott, a
renowned child psychologist and author of the best selling "Between
Parent & Child" and a number of other books on child raising. I
remember him saying, "Every child deserves a pat on the back, and for
some children it should be delivered low enough so as to do some
good."
In the Mayberry Spirit!

Hey everybody. I know we have talked about this a while and it seems
like I wasn't the only one who got a good whipping for disobeying when I
was younger. I must say that it will set you on the straight and narrow
path after you get one. I have a son and I never thought I could do it,
but you realize that in order to love, you must teach, no matter how
hard it is to do. I have given my son some well deserved whippings and
it did hurt me as much as him. One of the reasons I chose to enroll him
in private school, was because they would paddle the children if they
got out of line, something that the public schools do not do anymore.
He has gotten a couple of paddling at school and he would get another
when he got home and he always new the one from me would be worse. He
is 13 years old now and we have moved him to public school. He got one
from me a while back, but I hope that was the last one, as he is getting
older and learning from those whippings. Maybe this will close the
whipping issue. By the way, I sure did have a GREAT time a Mayberry
Days this year. That son of mine came in First place in the kid's
trivia and I am so proud of him. I thought I was in the wrong town on
Friday as attendance seemed to be way down, but Saturday looked real
busy. Well got to go now. Horatio (Kevin)

Andy's hand is seen bandaged in 'Aunt Bee the Warden' and 'The County
Nurse', two consecutively filmed episodes. Capturing the Gordon boys must have
been
a big effort. In reality, if it's the truth, I'm glad Andy hit a wall
instead of a person. I would shudder to think of Aunt Bee placing a 911 call
with
that "candlestick" phone because of an "archy barchy" with Barbara. I imagine
the pain that shot through Andy's hand made him sing a note worthy of being
featured in the Chorale performance in 'The Song Festers.'
