After looking around nervously and swearing me to absolute secrecy in return,
Michael nervously admitted he too was still spanked at home.
After further prodding encouraged by additional disclosures on my part,
he even admitted that spankings were a regular occurrence at home and had been since kindergarten.
For those who grew up after 1960,
a little background might help at this point.
Back in the 50s, spanking was a fairly routine punishment in American homes.
In the South, especially the strict Baptist South where I grew up,
many mothers even spanked their children into their early teens and a few well past that.
It was certainly that way in my neighborhood.
All in all, spankings were a regular part of life,
even a visible part since they were often given in semi-public places regardless of who was present.
