When I was in my formative years I had a girlfriend I really liked – but I didn’t like spending time at her house because we would always seemed to get into trouble. You might not think this was too bad. But Sally’s mom firmly believed in spanking and she was more than willing to […]

When I was growing up, after Mom divorced, we often visited my relatives in Minnesota. And often we stayed at my aunt’s place, a nice farm with a nice swimming pool in the backyard. Given that Minnesota has beautiful summers, and given my love for swimming, I often liked going to Aunt Jane’s for the […]

      My mother had been a keen equestrian, but when I was just six years old she was thrown from her horse (spooked by a passing car) and left in a wheelchair, paralysed from the waist down. Unlike the person in the other story, I was lucky enough to still have my dad […]

During the 1970s, when I was growing up, a smacked bottom was such a routine punishment for a naughty youngster that we children regularly included corporal punishment in our games, particularly playing ‘house’ or ‘school’.

  One of the most memorable spankings I ever witnessed happened to my older cousin Barb. She was the oldest cousin in our family and she was mean and bossy to all of her younger siblings and cousins. Barb and I get along great now, but when I was little I found her stuck-up and annoying. I […]

I grew up in a Christian family and every summer our church had a weekly summer camp. This included many worship activities but also offered lots of time just to be around and play with kids from both my own church and others. In the summer for some reason both my parents had work commitments and […]

When I was in the third grade in the 1990s, my best friend was Cory, who lived about four blocks away from our house. One day, I went around to his place to play as my mom had to go out shopping with a girl friend of hers. We dug Cory’s softball glove and ball […]
