She had three daughters and ‘they would all be good or she would know the reason why’, a quote from Jennifer about her mother.
Her mother treated us all very well, giving us cookies. hot chocolate, fruit, and so on.
However, this was always on the promise that we would behave ourselves.
I recall quite clearly how we tried to give Jennifer some comfort and sympathy.
Telling her we had all been grounded or sent to our rooms without supper.
After all, when it’s over, it is over. right?
But the knowledge of what would really occur hung in the air like a dark cloud.
We all thought we were too old to be turned over the knee and spanked.
