Mother was a forty-year member of her Sunday School Class. She’d grown close to her class members and could be counted on to be in attendance. One Sunday as they made their prayer list, Mother asked for prayers for her four-year-old grandson , Charley, because he’d gotten his foot stuck in a cash register. That broke the composure of the class. Once they stopped laughing, she explained. He was playing with a discarded cash register from his other grandmother’s restaurant when he jammed his chubby little foot in one of the cash slots. His howls brought everyone running to extricate him.

I was the mischief one of the kids. At naptime at childcare, I got up and sneaked into the maintenence closet. I found these huge buckets of paint and one I opened was dried on the top, I had to see how far down it was dried and stuck my arm in the paint allthe way to my schoulder. I don’t remember getting a beating buy I’m sure I did. It’s a great memory I cherish.

I’m sure I got a good beating at home but I was so young I don’t remember. I’m so proud of my curiosity. I still have it.

Exactly what is a good beating? I’ve experienced plenty and never found one good. Maybe if I had gotten to beat my beater!

We’ve been estranged since I was 12 but she’s alive. I haven’t had contact in any way. She doesn’t deserve me. I’ve forgiven her but all is not forgotten. She emotionally abused me so much worse than physically. That damade took many years of therapy to overcome.

It’s good you were able to disengage. It sounds like any contact would be detrimental. I am glad you are free of the burden of anger.

I had to unburden myself of anger, there was so much towards others but worse towards myself. It took a lot of therapy but I’m in a great place now.

This made me think of the time my grandson got his finger stuck in an ATM, I thankfully thought to quickly take out more money releasing his finger he was around 4yrs old at the time
