After the time I observed the punishment of my sister Jenny with the plastic flyswatter, I was well aware of the fact that Mom could be very strict and that she could administer a sound punishment on the bare behind.
Although I had got spankings from Mom during my early years – a few swats with the hand on the trousers – I did not expected that Mom would administer such a severe punishment like a whacking with an implement and apply it on our bare bottoms.
