At home, serious bad behavior earned the instruction to “go and wait in your room.” This was a dreaded order as you then knew that you were going to get the slipper. Dad came up a few minutes later and gave you a resume of your crime and then ordered you to get your pants down and bend over. Six hearty whacks with his leather slipper across the bare bottom later, you were very sore indeed, swearing to yourself that you’d never get whacked again … but of course, you did! Only once did I get more than six, I had nine after a particularly stupid and dangerous stunt whilst on holiday.
