Look, mom, I am an adult, not a child! Yes, and as such you CAN chose to leave immediately or stay and follow our rules. Rules that have adult consequences. Call the cops, they'll explain your options!
Wonderful, Richard, thank you, if all too visceral ! Oh my! I vividly remember this great, iconic photo the first time around, from the 1970s (Janus magazine). More acutely, I remember growing up in the 1960s, in a happy, strict environment, receiving corporal punishment applenty - it was simply routine, normal & necessary in yore !
To this photo, my mother believed in firm discipline & kept a cane - "the botty smacker" - in the cupboard for my sister & me. From a young age, in the 1960s, the rod was never spared, & so we felt that cane whistling across our botties when we were naughty. Always across a bare botty too !! Bare from the get-go. No small detail that - it was mom's harsh yet very effective protocol !! Oh my! That was the punishment. It was normal back in those days - panties always pulled down for the cane on my bare buttocks made perfect (if scary) sense to me. It was simple, Spartan & salutary. And in fairness to mom...it was totally harmless too, & taught us right from wrong (on the place provided !)
After telling lies, fighting, bad attitude & any misbehaviour, mom would scold us & pass sentence of a smacked bottom: the much-feared, whippy, rattan cane was fetched from the cupboard. Our protests were ignored, our 1950s floral dresses were hoisted, & our 1950s cotton, trad-white panties were pulled down to our knees....our chubby, white backsides appropriately bare & tender (with fearfully, not an inch of tough, Rhino-hide-skin to be seen evidently... sadly !!) , duly positioned over the armchair for the skelping.
..."So that it stings", said mom stridently. "It is punishment, Brenda !" "and a stinging botty right now will stop you getting into trouble when you gotten older !"
Oh my! How right she was, Richard. It was all no-nonsense & simply par for the course back then. Bare, red bottoms were naturally a fact of life....at least in our household. Indeed, most daughters gotten their bare backsides tanned in the 1960s & 70s (& of course, we besties regularly compared notes!)
So yes, memories of our dreaded "botty smacker" - the rattan cane - from my strict, loving mom growing up, for we two naughty girls, Richard. As shown in this timeless, classic photo. Boo-Hoo! Thank you! Yours ruefully, (Rouefully) Brenda xx
That is quite the story. My view of spanking is far different to what you have described as I find that particular harsh, I'm much more on the softer side of things. When you mentioned "Botty Smacker," a cane would have been the furthest thing from what I would imagine :)
Obviously on the main story site on the Internet I have read many stories just like your one. Maybe my softly-softly approach is why I don't sell as many books as others, lol.
Please don't take offense, but the cane on the bare for every minor infraction? Yikes! Rich
Why, thank you, Rich. No we did not the cane for every minor infraction. We were not punished for every minor infraction. In fact, we were smacked far less than many of our peers. But yes, when we re spanked, mom sure made it count ! In fact, we were generally well behaved & goody two-shoes girls (spoiler alert - I think the cane in the cupboard did help us with good manners & polite attitude !)
Mom was kind, fair & strict in the last resort. To be clear, we were not "thrashed" or "beaten" per se....her technique harnessed moderate, rapid flicks of the thin, quality, whippy rattan cane, which stung like Hell on a bare botty, but were actually totally harmless. It was just a smacked bottom, Rich ! Oh my!!
Moreover, and I always strongly stipulate this point, there was no abuse or bizarre ritual for sister or me either. It was "tough love" in the Ol' fashioned, strict context, if you will, Rich. Also, Rich, in my experience (growing up in the early 1960s & 70s like you) many of our cohort of princess brats gotten their bare bottoms tanned at home with the strap, hairbrush, plimsoll, paddle, wooden spoon or cane to a varying degree (or le martinet in France). It was all deemed necessary & normal. Par for the course. Yes, of course, OTK bare bottom was so prevalent too.
Your "softly softly" approach & indeed your whole brand & inimitable style is just perfect, thank you kindly, Rich. And I always felt (pray, I do feel !) a lil' scared & naughty when you say "young lady" in your traditional disciplinary, guidance notes :-) videos of yore ha-ha ! Thanks n kind regards Brenda xx

Jim,
DeleteI love the "Are you serious?" look on her face.
Mom and me !
