Back in the late 40's-50's the fashion for women's belts was a thin "spaghetti" belt. She loved them.
For us kids we were convinced fashion had nothing to do with her choice. She used it like a surgeon.
She'd snap it in the air like a whip and our butts would pucker in terror! Felt like razor blades of fire
slashing through the air and ripping across our flesh! Our wails of pain would start as soon as her words
of judgment stopped and her fingers went to her tiny buckle...Oh Mama!
