By then, Aunt Sheila was always sitting on his bed with his special “naughty boy jammies” laid out beside her, the jammies he always wore on Sunday nights.
This was a light blue, one-piece, sleeper outfit his mom had purchased at J.C. Penney with enclosed feet and a button-down flap in back. Except for its size, it was identical to the kind of thing they had worn as toddlers.
Apparently, Aunt Sheila believed spankings were more effective if they came with additional reminders of what happened to little boys who didn’t act their age.
For the same reason, she usually took his temperature rectally after she changed him into his jammies and before his spanking.
Michael absolutely hated this since it really made him feel like a toddler.
Aunt Sheila always scolded him thoroughly for needing to be treated like a little baby.
To make matters worse, she always insisted that his babysitters put him into his “naughty boy jammies” right after dinner as a reminder of what to expect if he misbehaved.
And she always left the Vaseline jar and thermometer out on the bathroom sink in case the babysitter needed it.
