Quote 1
Sister Lightsey reached up and pulled a limb off the tree. Then she pulled another one down and began to braid the switch.
Abby backed away.
"Don't you run from me. You know if you run, you get two whippings." (6.53-55)
Sometimes you learn by reading books… and sometimes you learn by Sister Lightsey chasing you around her yard with a switch. To be fair, we're pretty sure Abby's been told before that she shouldn't hop into other people's gardens for a snack.
