I did as I was told, as if this was a bad dream.
I was actually very rarely spanked, and then only really got my clothed butt dusted a bit with Dad’s hand.
It hurt a bit but was more humiliating than painful.

Grandma didn’t waste any more words. She knew that I knew I had done wrong.
She took my place on the bed and turned me to face her.
“Please, Grandma…” I began desperately. “You just be quiet while you can be,” she said ominously.
My, modesty was almost immediately lost as she firmly pulled me across her knee.
