THERALENE ™ baby and the small whip
i was a THERALENE kid.(i think it's called VALLERGAN ™ in UK, NEDELTRAN ™ in Dutch and TEMARIL ™ in USA) pretty close to opiates

back in the seventies it was very common for doctors to prescribe it to hyperactive childs (i was just a little turbulent)

my mum found it great and told the doc:" since i give him a table spoon of THERALENE ™ everynight he sleeps like a marmot..she didn't mention that i also frequently pissed my bed =/

also my parents had this little whip, it was made of a wooden handle and had 10 or 12 strips of leather about 20 cms long..they mostly used it to threaten me =) i don't remember being beaten so much but i had a few whipping on my butt (probably deserved)

one day we were moving from our house to a city flat and while helping unpacking things with mum i saw the whip in a cardboard full of other items she hadn't yet gone through. i hid it under my pullover, went to the kitchen window at the back of the flat, there was this cool bushy private garden, perfect!!

i proceeded and threw it away as far as i could , unfortunately i hadn't noticed this huge weeping willow and the small whip got entangled
in the branches and stayed there forever, just in front of the kitchen window..

i could see it everyday during breakfasts, lunches and dinners for years...that was even more traumatizing.
parents never noticed it.

length? 20 cms long leather strips
