All of his Michael’s mom’s friends seemed to know he was still spanked especially since Aunt Sheila talked about it so openly.
Some of Aunt Sheila’s friends seemed to go out of the way to embarrass him by asking direct questions about his last spanking.
If that weren’t enough, there was the demerit chart and slipper his mother hung conspicuously on the kitchen wall (again, just like my mother).
If any visitor inquired, they always got a detailed explanation.
Not that they needed any explanations.
One side of the slipper had the words “Michael’s slipper” clearly printed in large black letters.
Demerit charts linked to a weekly spanking hour seem to have been more common in Southern homes before the sixties.
On my mother’s side of the family, they went back two or three generations.
In many ways, the chart was a special monthly calendar, with a page for each month.
