Mr. Johnston gave his son a long talking to and decided to postpone the boy’s strapping until the following Saturday.
Josh had a whole week to think and worry about this spanking — a whole week to think and worry about his dad’s razor strop.
Saturday, after all the groceries were brought in the house, Mr. Johnston led his son to the master bedroom and gave the lad a strapping like none the boy had ever received before — and hoped never to experience again. When he was finished, he let the boy get dressed and sent him to the bathroom to wash up and regain his composure.
