Stella didn’t know how many spanks she was given with the hairbrush and was crying uncontrollably when she heard Miss Dawkins order, “Right, Stell...a, get up so I can give you the cane.”Stella gasped as she had quite forgotten she still had six strokes of the cane although as she eased herself up she remembered it had been increased to nine strokes for arguing. As she stood up her hands flew to her bottom and she rubbed furiously and would have continued to do so except Miss Dawkins ordered,. The R's changed their look only a little when we changed our locale. They changed their hair from brown to auburn. That change made them look even more like my mom. I could never get a straight answer on what their natural hair color was.After spending a year in Las Vegas, I got reassigned. I was not sad to have the change. As they say, it is a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. The casino area of Las Vegas is very plastic, full of plastic people.My replacement was the man. Right now I need to tell you what happened when I got home.I live near a small city but on a rural road. I own a double-wide mobile home that sits on three acres of land. It gives me plenty of room to park my semi without bothering the neighbors.I pulled up and parked my truck by the garage, which was a fair distance from the house. I was surprised to see another car at the house. It belonged to my friends, Joe and Trina, and all I could think of was that Trina and Sarah didn't get along all. Even Jack was a little antsy and he'd lived with the woman all his life. I know guys tell horror stories about the boyfriend meeting the father and the fear the father puts into him but that's nothing compared with the way a girl feels when she meets a boy's mother for the first time.As if that wasn't enough to be nervous about, Jack told me about a conversation he'd had with his sister that morning and how she'd reacted. Of course, he couldn't put what he said and her reaction together. He did.
