There once was a time, when I was too young I questioned mom, she said, keep your sharp tongue. No sex before marriage; true. Did you pick me at drive-through? Black and blue mark on my cheek when she swung. 8/21/2024

No, but it was brought up a few times. It is so funny you mention if it was real, not like that comment. I was slape a lot growing up, it was the norm. When I was 18 and pregnant with my first husband sitting beside me, I picked up a cigarette and started smoking in front of my mom and she got up and slapped me. It was the first time my mom ever saw me smoke.
