12 year old Peter Marshall was a delight of a boy, much loved by all who knew him. He was a redhead, his hair actually a bright orange in the sun. His hair sometimes grew a bit long, covering his ears in a "Beatles" style. He had bright green mischievious eyes, which sparkled when he played his "jokes" on friends and neighbors. He had slight red freckles on the bridge of his nose and cheeks, they came out more during the summer months. At just under 5 foot and medium build, his most noticeable body feature were his prominent, perfectly rounded buttocks that, while firm, seemed to protrude with a mind of their own. His tight pants often looked like they were about to burst in front to release the pressure of those perfect orbs. People who Peter knew well, and some that did not know him well, often impulsively would give him a pat on that prominent

rear end, to which Peter would giggle and smile. He sometimes he struck back, giving others a whack on their backsides. It seemed like a wonderful game to him, and he always sported a smile for all who would play.

Now Peter was an orphan, and lived with his Uncle Mark and Aunt Sally. They had the grievious job of disciplining Peter, who's parents had died in an accident when he was just 4 years old. Uncle Mark and Aunt Sally had a 10 year old son, Derrick, and 12 year old daughter, Katy, of their own. Their children were both blondes with slight freckles and blue eyes. The Marshall's were rather

old-fashioned in their approach to discipline. Aunt Sally opined that the only real punishment for a recalcitrant child was "a good spanking", and Uncle Mark shared her ideas on what this meant. Spankings were a family affair, and anyone who might be visiting was also welcome to witness the justice meted out to the Marshall children. A spanking was meant to embarrasing as well as painful, and an episode to be remembered by the whole family. Spankings were conducted before dinner, in the Living Room, and each element had a special designation:

The "Spanking Chair" was used exclusively for this purpose, when children

were younger the parent sat on it to take them across their knee; as they

got older they were expected to bend over the chair with their buttocks well

presented for punishment.

The "Instruments" included a range of items depending upon the child's age

and severity of the offence. The Marshalls used their hands for minor

offences, a wooden backed hairbush for moderate offences, a supple leather

belt for moderately severe infringements, and a flexible English cane for

severe disobedience.

The "Preparation" was crucial, but the fundamental rule was that any and

and all punishemnts had to be administered on the BARE buttocks. For milder

chastisment, the trousers and underpants or panties were lowered to the

knees, but for more severe crimes, the child was inevitably punished in the

nude. Any resistance to baring of the child would automatically result in

additional punishments. Uncle Mark and Aunt Sally were totally in agreement

when it came to the subject of child discipline.

When a spanking was announced, in the afternoon before dinner, the miscreant

would often start to cry and beg to be let off. This was never successful. Once the sentence of a "spanking" was pronounced, it was always followed through. The errant child could only hope that no neighbors or friends of the family would happen to be present that evening, since that would automatically entitle them to witness the whole affair. It was particularly useless for the children to beg to have their underwear left on, this would automatically result in them getting a totally naked spanking.

One thing that the Marshall's insisted upon was that all their children, including Peter, behaved properly at school and did well on their report cards. Unfortunately for Peter, his young mind often wandered in class, and his teachers were only to willing to report to the Marshall's the problems that existed. They suspected that the Marshall's used spankings as their primary disciplinary tool, and the teachers were only too willing to do their part to help ensure that the impudent buttocks on that cute boy got their just desserts.

Next time, we will see exactly what happened to Peter when he brought home his bad report card, in explicit detail.
