My actually favorite paddling instrument at home in the USA was (is?) the hairbrush. Any hairbrush with a flat wooden back can be used, and all women have one. The ones with a short handle are ideal for over-the-knee spankings, while a longer handle makes them useful for hitting with the child bent over the edge of the bed, a table, or the kitchen counter. Another of the mothers’ choices was the wooden spoon, preferably a large and heavy old one made with hardwood. The spoon can be severe, because most of the weight is on the head, which goes faster when hitting, and its convex back tends to concentrate the force of the impact in a small surface, almost a single point. It is used with the children on the knees or bent over the kitchen counter.
