Daniel is going to get another sound spanking as soon as he gets home. Do you understand me, young man? You promised me last month you wouldn’t use bad language again, didn’t you. Apparently the spanking you got then didn’t teach you to mind Mother, did it?You’re going to learn another lesson young man, just you wait. Monica and Clara, if Daniel ever uses such language again in Sunday School, I want you to spank him right in front of the others.”
“An excellent idea, Beatrice. I’m sure a little embarrassment would help Daniel learn a good lesson. . Maybe I should let Monica spank him next time. From what the mothers of the other Sunday School pupils tell me, Monica is quite capable in that department as a babysitter.”
“Come to think of it, Clara, I’ve heard the same thing. And everyone tells me how well Monica handles the others at Sunday School. It just so happens that my husband and I are looking for a new babysitter since Daniel’s regular sitter, Sarah Cummings, got married and moved to Houston. Monica, do you think you might be interested in sitting for Daniel a few times this coming week?”
“Of course, Mrs Richardson,” Monica replied. “I’m always happy to earn a little extra pocket money. When would you like me to show up?”
