I was talking to one of my wife's cousins yesterday. He called it "the circle dance" when mom or dad had hold of your arm, and was using the switch or paddle and going in a circle as the kid moves forward and around they go.
And parents would spank kids that were not their own! If we were caught doing something outside the bounds of permission, we all got a spanking.
After dinner, before dark play time was the best. We never had any issues besides skinned knees, insect bites. It was an era that will not be repeated unfortunately.
We only had three black and white TV stations and at night nothing much good was on. If mom and dad were watching something, there was no second (or third) TV to watch. Movies were only at the theater with no VCR, so playing outside was more fun.
