When I went to get Josh from his homework I had to work hard to get him to stop. But I eventually did and I picked him up and sat down on the bed with him. We wrestled and I played with his buttocks for a little while. Josh never seemd to mind when I did that. Josh decided he wanted to take a nap so I stood up and pulled the covers back. I laid him down in the bed and said, "How long do you want to sleep?" Josh looked at me and said, "a couple of hours. Could you turn me over?"
"Sure buddy." I took Josh by the shoulder and leg and rolled him over on his belly. "It's nice so I don't need covers daddy." He said. I tousled his hair and patted his bottom. "Have a good sleep." I left the room shutting the door behind me. I headed for Shawn's room and plucked him away from his toiling on his homework. He needed to go to the bathroom so I took him in and held him in front of the bowl as he urinated. We then went into my bedroom and wrestled on my bed. Then Shawn wanted to talk so I sat him on my knee and we chatted. He informed me that report cards would be coming out soon and he was mildly concerned with his geography grade. When I asked him why he said it was because of the papers he had gotten back. I went and got his book and found many papers stuck in them. None of them had a grade higher than a C on it and many were much lower. "Shawn this is not good. Furthermore, it was naughty of you to not show me these. You will get a strapping tonight. Fifty strokes."
Shawn decided it was his naptime too so I put him to bed as well. After a while Josh was up and I played with him and Cody and David for a while before making lunch. The boys wanted to wrestle out back. I went and plucked Shawn from his slumber and dragged him unwillingly out back to wrestle with his brothers. Needless to say he picked up some strokes during this exchange.
Finally it was time for our whipping ceremony. I pulled all the boys into the living room and convened the ceremony. David and Cody had clothes on so they were ceremoniously stripped of their clothes. Then all charges were read. During the day David and Cody had earned strokes at their tutoring time. Shawn had earned strokes for grades and lying as well as during the wrestling matches. Somehow Josh had not earned any strokes today.
"In my infinite wisdom I believe that Josh more than likely committed an offense worthy of a whipping today but failed to be caught by me. Simply because I fail to observe wrong doing does not make it any less wrong. Therefor I find that Josh has committed a level 2 offense and will receive the statutory punishment."
This was not an uncommon occurence. Often at the spanking ceremony I would make these determinations. I had determined certain levels of offenses. Level 2 was near the bottom and therefor the punishment would only be twenty five strokes with the hair brush.
I called David forward "David you have been brought before this court to be punished for your crimes and therefor you will be. You will go over my knee and receive a total of fifty strokes from the hairbrush upon your bare buttocks. Bend." That was the command I gave to tell the offending child that they were to kneel before me and ask for their whipping. David bent down on his knees and said, "Daddy I have been naughty and the only thing that will teach me is a thorough whipping. Please let me come forward and receive it now."
"You may come." David stood up and came to stand beside me. I took his arm and guided his body over my lap. I laid my hand on his upturned rump. I then picked up the hairbrush and laid that on his bottom. I lifted it and brought it down hard right in the middle. WHOMP! David started and I had to reposition him. WHOMP! This time David held his position and simply breathed hard. I knew I had to speed up my spanking. WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP I laid down five strokes in rapid succession to every area of his buttocks. Another five and David was squealing for mercy.
I made quick work of David. When I lifted him off my lap he was thoroughly whipped and sobbing. I then called Josh forward. He would receive twenty five strokes with the hairbrush. I did not need to go over Josh's offenses so I immediately gave him the order to bend. Josh kneeled, something more difficult for him, and asked for me to whip him. I lifted him from his kneeling position and draped him over my lap. I laid the brush upon his bottom and he jerked. I stroked his blond hair and rubbed the brush back and forth across his buttocks. I lifted it and brought it down hard upon him. WHOMP! Josh knew he was probably being punished for nothing but yet he did not protest. He knew better. In effect these particular whippings served as a reminder both to Josh and the rest of the boys as to the possible ramifications of naughty behavior.
