I was nervous as well as curious!
I finally hit the jackpot with Brenda.
She was a work colleague.
We got to know each other well enough for me to drop round to her place occasionally, out of work hours for a coffee and chat.
I pursued the friendship largely because I had discovered that Brenda had chastised her offspring growing up.
I knew this after she made a casual remark about some local hooligans caught by the police.
“If they were mine, they wouldn’t be sitting down for a week,” was her comment.
On hearing that, I engaged Brenda in a conversation about discipline.
I told her that I had been regularly spanked by my parents.
