Sandals? You're lucky - my grandma threw rocks - and she had excellent aim. All of us grandkids learned to scatter in different directions and take off running if we (or anyone of us) was in trouble. My grandma was so fast that she could scoop up two rocks and bean one of us in the back of the head and whip around and get another one too. If only they had Olympic rock throwing - she would have been a champ!
I think what's funny is that I (and all my cousins) never thought we were being abused and we all laugh about it to this day. But I would NEVER do such a thing to my kids and guaranteed if I did stand out in my yard hurling rocks at my children I would be reported. I would definitely consider it abuse if I did that but yet we all think of it as just another quirky trait of my Grammy's. Makes you think how it's all in the perspective I guess.

same here...we laugh over it and say how much we love our Nonna's and Mama's..we compare notes to see who got the shoe or spoon thrown at them the most.and then we would laugh some more.
