Belt, wet lavett (wet dish towel grabbed from kitchen counter top), a few switches (that the outer coating was shaved off with a pocket knife and left to dry next to the outside swing), fly swatter, and a few more I'm sure I'm leaving off.
The one that stands out the most is the belt.
That unmistakable sound of when your dad pulls it off his waist fast and you hear the end of the belt run through the loops .... flap! flap ! flap!
That's when you knew business was about to go south.
I referred to them as snot blowing sessions, getting the who who's, or a back deck throw down !
Wouldn't trade them for a single thing ... made me the person I am today !
Thank you Mom and Dad !
