lol, the wooden spoon........jack is the one i got after with the wooden spoon..........jack started it! called me a squirt and said his mother chased him around with a wooden spoon! lol, it went from there!......
truth be told never used a wooden spoon except for cooking!.......
my mother used a pretty hefty wooden spoon once. it broke chasing and cracking one of my brother's over the head with it one time......we started snorting, laughing, (trying not to laugh cuz of her reaction) which just made her even more mad.......lol. my mother was/is a gentle soul, and really did not use items from the kitchen or other to discipline us kids. if she said something, we respected that, well for the most part..........sometimes just tested the waters as we got older.
scott, i really am a peaceful person~ i might get snarky sometimes and i know i do ~ i apologize.......... one time in my life i used a cast iron skillet, not a wooden spoon, and i was already married...........message sent, problem solved..............
as far as the chipmunks songs and david seville.........i don't know the history but sure makes me laugh when i hear this tune! always has. it's just fun with some memories attached.
