Ol' fashioned medicine for modern times: tickle-tail and required discomfort a la Eilean Beithe for naughty lil' princess brats!
ReplyDeleteOh my! When I witness naughty lil' princess brats terrorising the store & the mall, dissing their exasperated moms & throwing a bunch of mean tantrums & potty-mouthed tirades; these EB wonderful drawings flash through my traditional, Ol' fashioned mind - a solution is at hand for industrious, superhero mommies and..it is not the naughty step!!!
I soooooo love the drawing top right: that is how my religious, super-strict, typical Southern mother punished me (& my sister) when I was naughty in store, in church...or indeed anywhere. Back in the living room, she raised my dress, pulled down my panties and smacked the sensitive, fairest skin on my naughty, chubby, bare botty, soundly with a cane. Oh my! This was the 1960s & the naughty step had not gotten invented yet, thank the good Lord, B.
This top-quality, flexible, whippy-thin piece of rattan was called her "spanking stick" or "switch". Sister & I called it the "hornets nest". Oh my! Mom used to often say "your backside needs a switchin' Brenda" (which inevitably meant my bare backside!! Not my clothed backside, sadly!!) Why yes, on a bare botty, it stung like absolute hell on earth, but it was completely harmless, and so was good, effective, loving bit harsh chastisement for misbehaving daughters. We gotten 12 strokes of the rod, always on our bare buttocks without compromise, & in alignment with my parents strict Christian CP values.
This beautiful, realistic drawing, top right, shows how the message gotten through to me as a naughty child. Dress up, panties to knees, with botty bare, was essential of course; something I talked to my wonderful, God-fearing mother about a bunch over subsequent decades. The panties down baring process was a good punishment (in front of God) for me and lil' sister in its own right - I sure realised I had been naughty, already. It was scary & then the nasty, hard cane on uber-soft, tender, bare skin meant max sting, max safety & max humbling AKA "tough love" as it was called. Parents who care, cane, in my own experience. Perfect discipline for y'all naughty lil' princess brats in EB's drawings...and for y'all in store!!! Oh my! There was no need for the New Moral Order in 1960s Georgia, B!!
Wonderful drawings, thanks n spanks.
