Aunty Sheila’s Slipper Punishment12

Before putting us to bed each night, our moms would mark a plus or a minus on the chart for that day with a number next to every minus for the number of spanked earned.
When Sunday came, we fetched the chart and the slipper after dinner so they could tally the spanks earned and enter the number of spanks earned.
Attentive visitors to our homes could see exactly how many spanks we had earned the previous two or three weeks, and if they flipped the pages, for other months as well.
This tended to generate more embarrassing comments and questions at home.
Needless to say, with so many categories for misbehavior, we almost always faced a spanking on Sunday nights.
The worst effect of the demerit chart then was to create what was basically a permanent spanking sentence that hung over us every week. Even before the sting of one Sunday spanking faded, we both knew the ritual would be repeated in seven days, if not before.
