WHACK! WHACK! She landed each of the last two solidly across both cheeks at once.
“When you are ready, you may leave,” she said. I thought about telling her I would never disobey her again, but I couldn’t bring myself to say anything. I imagine she knew that anyway!
She was only an average size woman, but the paddling she gave me was as hard as any I ever got – even in a couple of trips in later years to the office of the (male) vice-principal.
