I hated when she called me that because the only time she ever referenced me in that way was when my rear end was about to be tanned.
Her mom gave us a ‘proper telling off’, citing how irresponsible we had been, how much they had worried us and compounded our misjudgments by not calling them.
She had been raised in Canada by upper middle class English parents and came across as very formal and matriarchal.
As she upbraided us, my mom would occasionally interject with her own admonishments, including how she only agreed to let us go because she thought I could be trusted to watch my sister.
By the standards at my own house, this was an exceptionally lengthy lecture.
