She was determined to severely thrash his impertinent little bottom. As she noiselessly approached, aware that she was unnoticed by Billy, Blanche realized that by crouching on the hose bib, Billy’s bottom was thrust out, making an ideal target for her yard stick. She raised the yard stick to maximum range and with all the energy in her sturdy shoulder, brought it rushing full speed toward Billy’s bottom. It landed with a resounding “WHACK.” Completely surprised by the sudden and shock-ing bolt of pain, Billy broke a loud “YELP!” as he slipped from his perch. Looking back as he landed, he caught the wicked glare of Edith Parsons’ eyes as she stood by her window with crossed arms. Not a second later, Aunt Blanche had a vise grip on his ear and began marching him to Edith’s back steps.
