When we left off our hero, 12yo David was shuffling over from the corner to talk to his dad about what his life was going to be like for the next week until his two day suspension from school was completed.
"David, your attitude lately has been awful. For the next week you are going to learn to obey and obey completely. I've had some time to think about this now and things are going to change big time around here. You have been suspended from school for two days but your school punishment will not be finished until a week from now. While I can swing it, your suspension will greatly inconvienice me. Quite frankly I think your school is letting you off too easy. We have to correct this attitude of yours now. You are lucky you are only in the 7th grade. If something like this had happened a year or two from now it could have affected your chances of getting into a good college and really messed up your life for good. That is why I am going to make the next week one that you will never forget. You will have no desire ever to mess up again when this week is done. I am going to make sure that you remember that you are being punished every minute that you are awake this week. Trust me, this suspension will be no vacation. I fully intend that it will be the worst week of your life. After the week is over we will not talk about it, but I plan on being much more strict with both you and your brother from now on. From now on misbehavior will result in a sore bottom, but hopefully we will never have to have a repeat of the week I am planing for you. I hope and pray that this week will shock you out of your current attitude and make you straighted up and fly right. While you are going to obey everything I say this week with out question, I am going to allow you to make a few decisions. If you make good decisions and obey everything I say you will earn back some limited priviledges by the end of the week. However, if you disobey me, or your mom, or even while we are not around, your little brother, things will get worse for you, even though when I finish explaining this week to you you might not think that possible. The same goes for arguing or compalaining. Tommorow morning you will come down and meet me in the family room at exactly 7am, you will have already showered and put on your shirt. I will have your pants and underpants with me. Here is your chance to make a decision, you will decide what you want to be spanked with and bring it with you. I will spank you with it for as long and hard as I think is needed, so don't bring me anything to soft or easy. I would show that you are not ready to make good choices. If I approve of your selection, I will spank you for a shorter amount of time and you might win back some limited priviledges. Now the effects of that spanking will probably wear off in a few hours, and as I said I want you to remember you are being punished every minute. Thus I will then go with you to the bathroom, and I will watch you brush your teeth with dishwashing soap. The taste should stay with you most of the day.
"You mean I have to wash my own mouth out with soap every day for the next week?"
"Exactly, I want not only for me to punish you, but for you to punish yourself for the next week, after all its your life that is on the verge of being messed up"
"When you get home from school, I want you to pull your pants and underpants down to your ankles, which is where they will remain until you are ready for bed. As far as I am concerned, you are in prision for the next week and your underpants are your leg irons.
"You mean I have to be this way all the time? What happens if some of Tommy's friends come over? Or if one of the neighbors stops by?
"Then you will politely explain to them that you are being punished and what you are being punished for. Quite frankly I expect that will happen and want it to. As I recall, Tommy's cub scout den is due over on Monday night. If you are very good until then one of the priviledges you could earn back is the ability to have your underwear pulled up while you serve them juice and cookies. However, if you talk back or disobey in any way you will have to help out with the den the whole time in your leg irons and the whole den will get to watch your evening spanking?"
"You mean I am going to be spanked in the evening as well as in the morning every day?"
"At a minimum, however for tonight and tommorow, you will go cut a switch for your evening spanking, by Saturday night you will have made that paddle I was telling your brother about. Now, here is a knife, go into the back yard and cut me switch from the crabapple tree"
David glumly takes the knife, turns and starts to pull up his pants to go cut the switch
"DAVID, you just don't get it mister, do you? What did I just get through saying about obeying me?
"Huh"
"Did I tell you to pull up your pants"
"No Dad, but its still light out, people will see me"
"I told you that if you argue, or disobey, things will get worse, didn't I? Well here is an example, now instead of the crabapple in the back yard I want you to cut a switch from the rose of sharon out by the street, and furthermore I want you to strip it on the front porch"
"But Dad, the Taylor boys are outside shooting hoops"
"Tough, and by the way, that back talk just earned you the pleasure of having the spanking take place on the front porch as well, want to try for more or are you finished digging yourself in deeper?
David, never more embarrased in his life, turns and shuffles toward the front door, his underpants preventing him from taking any steps longer than 8" at a time, out to the waiting jeers of his friends and neighbors. He knows his Dad is right, this will be the worst week of his life, and it has hardly begun.
