Katie was my friend throughout primary school. At the time, we used to say we were boyfriend and girlfriend (a childish type of relationship children usually have) and we would always play together.
Katie’s mother was not unlike mine, in that she believed firmly in the benefits of a sore bottom from time to time. I often witnessed my ‘girlfriend’s’ bare botty get spanked when she dared to to be cheeky or not respond quickly enough to to commands.
