She was not at all bothered that my teacher had spanked my bottom.
She assured Mrs Newman” “I’ll see she does the rest of her lines.”
Then she turned to me with a flushed, angry face.
“There’ll be no tea until they’re finished, young lady!
And if Mrs Newman has to smack you again, you can expect another one from me when I get you home
That was the final humiliation,
Despite us going to one side, other pupils and their mothers overheard the conversation,
I received a lot of teasing the next day about having my bottom smacked like a baby.
The experience didn’t entirely cure me of my chatterbox habits in class,
but from then on, a single warning from my teachers was usually all it took to quieten me down again.
