The real reason >why I was more likely to get a paddle or an >on-the-seat-of-the-pants correction from Mr and Mrs C, >was because when I was hanging around with my >Best-Friend (who was their daughter) I was simply far >more likely to get in trouble. > >(Yet despite that fact, her parents actually said that >she was better behaved whenever she was with me.

But >whenever their patience was exhausted, they would just >engage. > >(Meaning that either they would just administer, >without further warning, an on-the-seat-of-the-pants >correction, or they would issue the command "put your >pants down".) > >Like with my parents, If we got an >on-the-seat-of-the-pants correction in public, then we >would get our pants downed when returning to their >house. > >There was one occasion, with my father, that I >remember that defied the usual protocol. > >In our lumber yard, Brothers and I were forbidden from >touching any of the Big machines in the Barn without >adult supervision. > >(The Barn was what we called the production floor, or >saw mill, next to the offices.) > >My brothers and I were actually taught how to operate >many of those machines, as it was our family business. >But my parents (for obvious reasons) just didn't want >us trying to do anything like that on our own. > >(People have literally lost limbs in the barn.) > >On an occasion when Father caught me instructing one >of the teenagers (I was still under age ten, so the >teenager was much older than me) about changing out a >part in one of the machines, Father gave me a VERY >enthusiastic on-the-seat-of-the-pants correction. > >This was in front of everyone in the Barn at that >moment. > >He then warned me that If he caught me doing that >again without PROPER adult supervision, then the next >time I would be dealt with up "in (his) office!" > >I did not have to have it explained to me that, that >meant that my pants would be coming down. > >Some would argue that, that last example was a public >spanking.
