WHACK! WHACK! The next two came close together, one on each cheek. I was really sore now, but I refused to break down and cry. I gritted my teeth and shut my eyes tightly. “Almost finished,” she said, seemingly trying to sound reassuring.
WHACK! WHACK! She landed each of the last two solidly across both cheeks at once.
“When you are ready, you may leave,” she said. I thought about telling her I would never disobey her again, but I couldn’t bring myself to say anything. I imagine she knew that anyway!
She was only an average size woman, but the paddling she gave me was as hard as any I ever got – even in a couple of trips in later years to the office of the (male) vice-principal.
