As a kid, my mother didn't want us to speak to her until 10 am. She would smack us in the mouth if we did it. Before I could even tell time, I would ask if it was 10 yet. I got smacked a lot.
In seventh grade, 1st period at school, I got sent to the office for corporal punishment, Going to get licks, another name for spanked. I was wrongly accused, so I refused...and said "call my Mom!" This was about 7:45 and I knew she wasn't going to listen to anyone before 10. I called her and said I was going to get a whooping and didn't deserve it.
She didn't even bother to get dressed. She showed up at the school about 15 minutes later in a robe and her nightgown, mad as hell! She asked me what was happening and I told her I wasn't taking a whipping for doing nothing. She chewed out everyone within earshot and yanked me up and took me home.
I still got an ass whipping, from her....but for a rule that I knew and understood. Don't speak to her before 10 am!
*NOTE: My sister corrected me, so I changed the time from 9 to 10.
