Cane to bare botty - drawing one. YUP! Do keep the cane accessible, on show Mom!
I love drawing one, B. As an elder, good lady stateswoman of my local church, B, younger Christian moms have asked me over many years, about discipline when raising daughters. As you know, B, my advice has always been a Spartan, no-nonsense, succinct summary: "cane to bare botty". I am a strict. Southern traditionalist on CP & I shall be 65 in the new year. So I have no truck with naughty steps, PC & wishy-washy nonsense!!!
Oh my! I am reminded by this first great drawing by the late , great Waldo, of the UK Janus reader (who I quoted previously on your blog) who said in her 1970s letter, how her mother kept the cane accessible on the kitchen shelf. When she or her sister were naughty, mom grabbed the cane, raised their skirts, pulled down their knickers and gave a crisp six of the best on a bare botty! It was a short sharp shock, much needed, and yes, it sure stings. The writer said how such spontaneous, simple, harsh discipline in the kitchen, kept her and her sister generally well -mannered & behaved during their childhoods !! This appropriate chastisement was common in the UK in the 1950s-80s, whether in the kitchen or more usually the living room! And indeed, a bunch of Janus letters, that I have quoted in your blog, B, have documented this evidence of corporal punishment in the golden age 1950s-1990s.
The typical Southern strap is more common for daughters in Georgia, B. Although I was religiously well-raised with the cane myself, & so I have naturally always advocated the cane in conversation. Intriguingly, many moms think the cane is more formal punishment & involves grandstanding protocol, procedures & timelines. However, this is not the case in my experience, & so I have always advocated that the rattan botty smacker is kept on show for practical purposes (like this first drawing) or very handy i& accessible n the cupboard -as indeed my dearest mother kept our cane at the front of the downstairs cupboard from our naughty, bare backsides. It is then, in my view, a quick dress up & panties down movement, for a good, salutary whuppin' on bare buttocks which teaches right from wrong in front of God!
The cane is quick & nifty as well as very salutary! This sting on a bare botty is totally safe & the message gets through, B!!! I call it Harmless Hell. Sister & I called it the "hornets nest" when we were young girls back in yore. Oh my!
In childhood, we gotten caned in the living room, & yes, mom did use a quick, memorable, scary but effective "hands on head/scolding/panties down/bottom baring routine". This is a subject of intriguing conversation with church moms. I always felt a sort of early 1980s style, Janus Moral Welfare Service.in my advocacy & advice, B!! Quite a few moms purchased a cane for their daughters or nieces. And I think the cane is just as user-friendly (for mom at least haha-ha!) on bare bottoms as a hairbrush or the traditional Southern strap.
I have told moms on many occasions, how growing up in the 1960s/70s , sister & I were surprisingly not spanked in public or parking lots. But Oh my! Yes, for sure once we gotten home, two dresses gotten raised & two pairs of panties had to be pulled down, for two pale, chubby, bare, tender-skinned botties to feel the stern, tough medicine AKA the rod of correction. It was normal & necessary & how things gotten done in our house without question or compromise . As my mother always said, "parents who care, cane!" Hug n smackies dearest, B. Brenda xx
In France, as in the US, the cane was too common, it was more the martinet and the belt. And some handmade martinet were more "effective" than those bought at the bazar... Hugs and smackies :) B xx
I am a Francophile, dearest B. My only "regret", or perhaps existential musing, is that my pudgy, bare, white botty gotten chastised with mom's cane growing up....and not the martinet! If I were en France right now, it would be "Deculotte! Et le martinet cul nu" when advising traditional moms at church coffee mornings about raising their daughters, cafe au lait et les madeleines at the ready!!! Yup! Those handmade martinets are beyond intriguing, B. And that would sure be an art n crafts show I would strictly look out for, already! Bien sur! Hugs n smackies Good Spartan Brenda xx
