Apparently Upbringing

i will never say i was ever beaten growing up but treated as in a way as an equal but with caution so to say that if i were so to say say something obscene or inappropriate then a slap was a given but this i understood but i have to say that there was never verbal abuse but a talking to as to do you know what you just said or even implied so that i was an open audio book to be took or taken for what i said especially after being able to read books such as 1984 when it was only 1970
