I don't think so much that the switch is, "sort of an old fashioned thing," Benji and Ryan. Ten years ago, I was a Big Brother to an eight and a half year-old boy whose roots were from Appalachia (West Virginia). He did something or other which upset his Mom, and she told won of his brothers to, "get her a switch." I had no idea what this was, but I knew it was going to be used to punish my Little Brother. I was able to persuade the Mom that she didn't need to punish my friend.

The switch may be something that is a regional implement; depending upon where one grew up. I grew up in the northeast U.S. and I never heard of a switch until this incident. I remember getting home and using the dictionary to find out what the Mom had said!

He says that it is still used in some regions of the country where it was always most common but that doesn't mean it's not sort of old fashioned. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
