How were you raised?

I was raised in a full blooded Irish home in a little coal mining
town here in Schuylkill county, Pa. Everybody knew everybody
so if you got in trouble in one block, you got it when you got home.
No child abuse here. If you called the cops, they would kick your
***, then you got it again for bothering the police.
Dad worked in the strippings and mom stayed at home.
Things were tight in those days so everybody pitched in.
I recall getting slapped in the face by my dad for saying
f**k. And I was 27 when this happened. Both my parents
passed away within a year of each other. First my dad then
mom. Not a day goes by that I don't think of them.
