One day the whole class was talking although we were supposed to do an assignment.
Mrs Taylor asked for silence but to no avail.
Finally, she said that the next one to speak up would receive two licks.
Well, guess who that next one was.
It was a spur-of-a-moment decision to provoke her and I regretted it soon.
Mrs Taylor looked flabbergasted but picked up the board and ordered me to follow her to the hall.
She asked another teacher to witness the punishment before telling me to bend over.
Then she applied the paddle with force.
Two swats on the buttocks.
My classmates were wrong, it did hurt! Ouch!!
