My cousin and I used to have to entertain ourselves at my grandparents house a couple weekends a month when I was growing up. Grandpa had this old peach tree that still put out fruit, but it was real nasty. So we found an old lamp cord and stuck it in the peaches and plugged the cord in. Dad wasn't pleased to come out and find the wall of the house covered in peach guts from when they exploded. That was well worth the beating after lol, most fun you could possibly have with a lamp cord I think

Did he beat you with the sticky old lamp cord?! Old folk know how to turn anything into a child beating device. That was back in the day there.

Bottled water... use the dang hose kid
screen door... slam that door and its your butt son!

Correction... there was a tv remote, it was the kid of the house.
