Billy begged, making a final stand. “Young man, I expect you to follow my instructions the first time. Would you like Mommy Wilkins to punish you right here where the neighbors can hear? Come here this instant or you’ll be very sorry, young man.” Something in her firm tone convinced Billy that she meant business. Dragging his steps, he shuffled over while continuing to plead. As he drew near, Mrs. Wilkins grabbed him and tucked him under her left arm and asked, “Are you go-ing to o-bey Mo-mmy Wil-kins when she tells you to do some-thing, young man?” With each syllable, Mrs. Wilkins swatted Billy’s rear firmly to make it very clear what would happen if he didn’t do what he was told. Though the spanks didn’t hurt through two layers of clothing, the message got through.
