The
problem started a week ago when Brenda had missed curfew for the third
time in a month. The first time she got off with a warning. The second
time earned her a three-day restriction along with a stern warning.
That third time, she had been deathly afraid that she would end up
bare-bottomed across her father’s lap for a painful application of the
family hairbrush. When she had instead “only” been given two weeks
strict restriction, she tearfully thanked her parents for their
forbearance and promised that she had learned her lesson. Actually it
was almost final exam time, so Brenda needed to stay home to study
anyhow.
While relieved, Brenda hadn’t been totally surprised at her parent’s
decision to not spank her. Now that she and her brother Jim were both
teens, their father was the family’s sole spanker. Although always a
reluctant spanker, for the last couple years Brenda had noticed that her
father was more reluctant to spank her than her brother, even though
Jim was the oldest! At 16, Brenda was finally old enough to understand
some of the complicated reasons behind her father’s reluctance to spank
her. Frankly, Brenda tended to use that reluctance to her advantage.
Jim also noticed the difference in treatment, but really didn’t
mind. Although he hated still being subject to parental discipline at
his age, unlike Brenda he preferred a quick spanking to a lingering
restriction. Unlike many siblings, Brenda and Jim were close
friends.
Nobody could possibly have predicted it, but their school’s football
team, the Dover High Bulldogs, won the local playoff against a much
better team. Frankly, the Bulldogs had been happy to simply make the
playoffs as the underdog team. Actually winning was far from anybody’s
mind. It was a first in the history of the school! But these things
happen in the uneven world of high school football.
With funding donated from various sources, the school planned a huge
victory celebration/party in the school gym for the following Friday
evening. Suddenly this was a huge problem for Brenda!
Brenda
was a member of the junior varsity cheerleading squad. Competition was
fierce, but she had reason to hope for a slot on the varsity
cheerleading squad next year. Her restriction initially hadn’t posed a
problem for her cheerleading because the JV football team had already
played its last game of the year. However, both cheerleading squads
would be expected to “dress out” and perform at the celebration. If
Brenda were absent for that important event, it would devastate her
chances to make next year’s varsity squad.
Suddenly Brenda went from being content, even happy, with her restriction, to being desperate to get out of it!
She
first went to Jim for advice. Viewing Brenda’s situation from a
student’s prospective, he uniquely understood how important this was to
his sister. “You should ‘cop a plea’ with mom and dad,” he advised.
“Your chances are small though. They’re hard-nosed about following
through on punishments. The question is, who to talk to first? Mom or
dad?”
After a short discussion, they agreed that Brenda should approach
mom first. Having once been a cheerleader, she might be more
understanding.
They decided that Brenda’s first offer should be
to substitute two extra days of restriction for that one evening that
Brenda needed. Failing that, she would offer a whole week. Failing
that, Brenda had a “desperation plan” in mind. If necessary, she would
volunteer to suffer the punishment she had been initially happy to miss,
the hairbrush on her bare bottom!
_______________
At first, Brenda’s mother
stonewalled, dismissing out of hand Brenda’s escalating offers of extra
days of restriction in exchange for permission to attend the victory
celebration. She repeated an old mantra, “Once a punishment is decided,
it’s final. Nothing you say can change it.”
“But mom...”
“Do you realize that I hate being your jailer
when you are on restriction?” mother asked. “Frankly, I wish your
father had just spanked you and gotten it over with.”
Brenda’s
mouth went dry. Desperate, Brenda went for broke, “OK mom, can I take
the spanking then? I know I was due for the hairbrush on my bare
bottom. I’m so desperate that it could even be bare in front of the
whole family.”
Her mother colored and gasped. Certain proprieties were very
important to her, “Any bare bottom spanking you get in this house will
be in private. Of that you can be sure!”
In a more reasonable
tone, mother sat her down, “Brenda do you really want to do that?
Really? I remember the last time your father spanked you bare with that
hairbrush. You were a blubbering, squalling mess! Your bottom was a
sight! Your eyes were red and puffy and your nose ran so bad that you
got it in your hair. You sat gingerly for several days. That’s a
serious punishment. Think girl!”
“Besides,” she continued, “Your father hates spanking, especially
spanking you. Since your punishment is already set, he’ll never consent
to spank you.
Seeing nothing but failure if she continued down this path, Brenda suddenly received inspiration, an idea born from desperation!
“Mommy, please promise that you’ll consider what I’m asking. If I
don’t make that victory celebration, it will kill my chances of making
the varsity cheerleading squad. You were a cheerleader once, so you
understand how important that is!”
“What difference would that make Brenda?” her mother said with
exasperation, “ I’ve already told you that your father won’t go for
it.”
Then Brenda sprang her little idea, “Could you
please ask daddy to put the question to a family council? That’s the
fairest way to decide without any one person’s personal feelings getting
in the way.”
Mother’s mouth opened in shock. She started to speak, then paused
with a thoughtful expression. “You realize that you wouldn’t have a
vote, right? You would get to say your piece, but then the vote would
be up to dad, me and Jim.”
“Yes,” Brenda said with a nod, “That’s fair. The hard part would be
getting dad to agree to put the question before the family council.”
Mother
looked at her watch. “It’s three hours before your father is due home.
Young lady, you go up to your room. Think hard! Remember the last
time you felt that hairbrush on your bare bottom. Remember it well!
See me in two hours to tell me if this still sounds like a good idea to
you.” Mother pointed to the door, “Now go!”
Brenda ran, ran straight to Jim’s room, where she fortunately found
him just as he was preparing to leave. She told him that her only
chance was to swap her restriction for a spanking. Then she explained
her “family council” brainstorm. “Can I count on your vote Jim?
“Pleeeeasse?”
“You want me to help you get spanked?” He gasped incredulously, “Really?”
“Yes
Jim,” Brenda said with assurance, “It scares the crap out of me, but
it’s the only plan with the slightest chance of success. I hate the
idea, but I must go to that victory celebration!”
“OK Brenda,” he said kissing her on the cheek, “It’s your ass. And I
mean that literally! If you change your mind, be sure to tell me.”
At the appointed time, Brenda found her mother.
“Well sweetheart, did you do that serious thinking?”
“Yes mommy, but I didn’t change my mind. I’ll take the spanking.”
“Whoa
there,” Mother warned. “We’re just talking about the possibility of
having a family council to decide if it’s OK to change your punishment.
Is that still what you want?”
“Yes Mommy,” Brenda gushed, “Can you please talk daddy into it?”
“I’ll try,” mother promised, “But don’t count on it.”
Brenda
hugged her mother eagerly, but then got a calculating look on her
face. “One more thing Mommy, is there any chance of you voting my way?”
“I’ll only promise to listen and then to vote my own heart.”
“That’s all I ask Mommy.”
At that, Brenda literally skipped from the room.
_______________
Brenda
stayed scarce when her father came home, but snooped just enough to
know that he and mother had disappeared into their bedroom, where they
likely were discussing her.
The parents called Brenda and Jim down for supper. Just before
desert, father announced that there would be a family council at 8 PM,
but gave no further information. Jim groaned inwardly. He had other
plans for the evening, but knew how important this was to Brenda.
Brenda’s stomach flipped. Suddenly she was so nervous that she had
to pee! She asked to be excused. Her father replied, “OK darling, but
be there at eight.” Brenda fled.
_______________
Shortly before eight, Brenda knocked on Jim’s bedroom door. He
appeared and looked deep into her eyes, “Changed your mind?” She bit
her lip and shook her head “no”. “Well,” he said, “Let’s get
downstairs.”
As was traditional for a family council, the living
room had been arranged so that the four of them sat in a rough circle.
Brenda wore pajamas, her restriction outfit. Everyone else wore street
clothes.
Father got right down to business, “I believe that Brenda has a
request for the family council. Brenda, explain your request and why
you want it.”
Suddenly Brenda wished that she had prepared
better! She stammered, “I ... I ... I would please like to s-s-swap
punishments. I would like to be s-sp-spanked instead of being on
restriction.”
She went on to explain her problem and why it was important she be
allowed to attend the victory celebration. Her heart thumped wildly and
her buttocks cringed as she ended up by offering to “take the
hairbrush.” She gulped then added, “On the bare bottom - tonight.”
There was a long silence as everyone absorbed that, but then Jim’s hand shot up.
Father recognized Jim with a nod. Jim said, “That won’t work.”
Father’s eyebrows rose, “It won’t?”
Jim
colored, “Well I’ve - err - had a bit more experience with that
punishment than Brenda has. It leaves the bottom and thighs marked for
several days. It also leaves you sore. Even moving can hurt.”
Everybody looked at Jim with a blank expression. Obviously they
didn’t see the problem, so he pointed out the obvious, “She’s expected
to dress in her cheerleader costume...” Mother’s eyes widened. “...and
perform with her squad. Her spanking will show, and it might hurt her
to make those cheerleading moves.”
Seeing the huge flaw in her plan, Brenda’s face fell. Tears flowed.
“Wait
a minute,” father said. “Thanks Jim. But let’s continue with our
family counsel. We each speak and then Brenda gets a followup before we
vote. Brenda may withdraw her request then. May I go next?”
Nobody objected, so father spoke: “Your mother has reminded me that it’s common knowledge that I’m a reluctant spanker.”
He gave a rare blush, then added, “Especially where Brenda is concerned.”
Taking
a deep breath, he continued, “I initially refused to entertain Brenda’s
request. However your mother pointed out that part of my reason for
refusing might be selfish due to my dislike for that particular parental
duty. So I consented to allow this issue to be settled by a family
council.”
“That said, I remain opposed in principle to changing punishments once
they are announced. Brenda was happy when we gave her restriction
because she perceived it as a lesser punishment than spanking. Now she
perceives otherwise, so she wants to swap. That’s unfair.”
He nodded to mother, yielding the floor. Brenda’s heart fell when
she heard her mother’s words, “You know, that’s right! Brenda wants to
swap punishments because she suddenly sees the spanking as the lessor of
two evils. Fundamentally, that’s unfair. Let’s not forget that we’re
here because Brenda repeatedly broke curfew. Whatever we do, she must
be properly punished for that. She must learn her lesson!”
Father visibly relaxed, now believing his wife totally on his side. Thinking the game lost, Brenda shed tears.
But
mother continued! “If we agree to swap punishments, there should be a
price to be paid. Do you agree Brenda? Are you willing to pay a
reasonable price for the privilege of swapping punishments?”
Sudden hope shining in her damp eyes, Brenda emphatically nodded.
“Then
this is what I propose,” mother continued, “A hand spanking today.
That would be the price you pay for the privilege of making this
punishment swap. The effects of a hand spanking will easily fade by
Friday afternoon. Your actual punishment would happen after the
celebration. That should be the hairbrush on the bare! Does anyone see
any problems with that plan?”
Brenda’s heart rate had reached epic heights, and her mouth went dry, but she said nothing.
Father spoke up, “For the record, I’m still opposed. Jim, you have the floor.”
As
Brenda expected, Jim spoke in her behalf. He said that as a high
school student he could uniquely understand how important this was to
Brenda. He also mentioned the days of restriction that Brenda had
already served, “So she would actually be receiving two punishments for
the curfew violations, besides paying the price for her punishment
swap. That’s not letting her off lightly. So I’m in favor of the
punishment swap if she still wants it.”
Then Brenda was allowed the floor. She reiterated her brother’s
points, said that she was nervous but would take her spankings without
complaint, and was sorry for repeatedly breaking curfew. “Had I taken
family rules more seriously, we wouldn’t be here,” she confessed.
“Regardless how you people vote, I’ve learned my lesson. I promise, no
more curfew problems.”
A long silence followed. Father looked around, wordlessly inviting any
further comment from the council. Finally he called a vote, “All in
favor of allowing Brenda’s punishment swap raise your hand.”
Jim’s
hand shot up. Father’s hand stayed firmly down. Brenda couldn’t vote,
so the deciding vote was mother’s. Brenda’s stomach flipped as
everybody looked at mother. Finally, hesitantly, mother’s hand went
up. Brenda’s mouth went dry, she had just “won” two spankings!
Father spoke formally, “Brenda, the family council has spoken.
Starting now, you are off restriction. Sometime next weekend, you will
receive a serious barebottom hairbrush spanking as your alternative
punishment for repeatedly breaking curfew. It will be on the bare, so
that spanking will be in private. The price for making that swap is a
hand spanking that happens now. You have the option; barebottom in
private or over panties here.
Wiping fresh tears from her eyes, Brenda stood, “First, thanks to
everybody for taking my request so seriously. I would have said that
regardless of how the vote went.” She looked sadly at her father,
“Daddy, I know you didn’t want this. I’m sorry to put you through it. I
promise that I will learn my lesson though.”
“Don’t be too sorry,” he replied graciously, “Spanking is one of the
jobs I signed up for when I decided to become a father. You are both
good kids and the good has far outweighed the bad.”
Wet-faced, Brenda nodded and swallowed hard, “Since this is a family matter, I would please like to take my spanking here.”
Mother spoke up, “Do you need to use the bathroom first?” Brenda shook her head, “I did that just before the family council.”
Mother continued her pre-spanking query, “Are you wearing panties under your pajamas?”
Brenda blushed and nodded.
Always concerned about modesty, mother pressed, “Full cut panties?”
Brenda nodded again.
“In that case you may remove your pajama bottoms and then present yourself to your father.”
As Brenda shyly obeyed by removing her pajama bottoms, father jumped
up, disappeared into the dining room, and returned with an armless
chair. He placed the chair sideways a few feet in front of mother and
Jim where they would have a full view of the proceedings.
He sat. Clad only in pajama top and panties, Brenda automatically
came to him and spontaneously gave him a wet-faced hug. Father remarked
lightly, “You don’t make this easy on me do you?”
Brenda gave him a forced smile, “It’s OK daddy, I know you’ve gotta hurt my bottom.”
He cleared his throat and spoke is a slightly choked voice, “This
spanking is the price you pay for swapping punishments, but it’s really
caused by your disobedience in disregarding your curfew. Is that clear?
Soberly, she nodded.
He craned his neck to inspect her panty-clad bottom, “Pull those panties up tight, and then lay across my lap so we can start.”
She
obeyed, pulling all slack from her panties, leaving them molded around
her buttocks as if painted on. Then she laid herself across her father’s
lap and cooperated as he adjusted her position. Her bravery stretched
to the limit, she started to sniffle.
Father was a reluctant spanker, but not a timid one. He didn’t
believe in token spankings, nor in warmups. He started out with a quick
flurry of hard spanks to each panty-covered buttock. Brenda’s tears
started immediately, and for good reason! Within a minute of that first
spank, poor Brenda was kicking and squalling as her father lit an
intense fire in her bottom. Remembering not to mark her bottom, he
carefully spread out his spanks.
Mother and Jim squirmed uncomfortably as they watched Brenda absorb
her punishment. The room was filled with not only spanking sounds, but
also with Brenda’s bawling and shrieks. Brenda’s legs kicked and
splayed, so mother was thankful for those modest panties, and for their
wide gusset.
With Brenda’s bottom uniformly shining red through the weave of her
panties, father shifted his target area to her thighs. He was
especially cautious here to leave no lasting marks, but still spanked
hard enough to intensify Brenda’s pained antics.
With one last flurry of spanks to the fullest part of Brenda’s
buttocks, father suddenly stopped and looked up at mother. She nodded,
he nodded back. It was over.
Then came their usual post-spanking
ritual, holding the girl in place until she calmed, helping her to her
feet, allowing her to dance and rub, and then inviting her into father’s
lap for a forgiving cuddle and another cry. Mother and Jim hovered,
offering whatever comfort they could.
Finally the parents escorted their freshly spanked girl to her
room. They pulled back the sheets, laid her face-down on the bed, and
then sat on each side rubbing her back and murmuring calming, loving
words.
Mother gingerly peeled down Brenda’s panties to check for damage. She
was bright red, but with little potential for bruising. Still, they
decided on ice packs just to be sure. Father left to fetch them. After
the ice treatment and an application of soothing cream, they declared
her aftercare complete. Mother removed her panties completely and
covered her bare bottom with a sheet. After final kisses, they left
Brenda to drift off to sleep.
_______________
For the next two days,
Brenda determinedly pushed her pending hairbrush spanking from her
mind. She had many things to do, including study for final exams.
Being busy, plus happily anticipating the victory celebration,
distracted her from her troubles. Her spanked bottom wasn’t a problem.
She checked in the mirror, and it looked normal. As advertised, that
hand spanking had no lingering physical effects.
Soon the big day came! The victory celebration was great fun!
Brenda performed with her cheerleading squad, and their performance went
perfectly. There was no guarantee, but Brenda felt she had an
excellent chance for a spot in next year’s varsity squad. She even
scored some good face time with the varsity coach.
But all good things must come to an end! Jim had also attended, so he drove her home.
Excitedly they talked, but soon Brenda fell silent. Finally Jim noticed, “Are you OK sis?”
“Not
really,” she admitted, “I’m going to ask daddy to spank me tonight.
I’m scared, but I want it over with. I’ll bet he wants it over too.”
Jim paused before speaking, “That’s a good idea Brenda. Waiting is
hell and it’s the same spanking now or later. You’ll hate it while it’s
happening, but you’ll be so relieved when it’s over that your sore
bottom will seem minor.”
Another thought occurred to him, “Would you like me to leave the house this evening to give you more privacy?
“No!” she exclaimed, “Even though you can’t be with me when it’s happening, I want you there for moral support.”
In truth, Jim had planned an outing with friends that evening after dropping off Brenda. But how could he say “no”?
“Of course I’ll be there for you sis,” he promised. “Should I come into your room afterwards?”
“Please do,” she said, “but I might not be much fun to be with just then.”
“I’ll understand,” Jim promised, “And if you decide that you would rather be alone, just say the word. I won’t be mad.”
“You’re the best big brother in the world!” she enthused.
_______________
Still wearing her cheerleader costume, Brenda swallowed a lump in her throat as she faced her parents.
Lightly they asked, “Well? How did it go?”
“Wonderful,”
she enthused, “It was perfect, and I’m so thankful that you allowed me
to go. Speaking of which...” Her voice trailed off in a nervous
gargle.
They both looked at her, wondering what was next.
She tried
again, “Speaking of which, mommy and daddy, can I have my punishment
tonight?” Her voice broke, but she forced herself to continue, “I’m
scared, but I think we all hate waiting.”
The parents looked at each other. Sometimes parents have whole
conversations at a nonverbal level. This was one of those times.
Simultaneously they looked back at her. Father delivered the verdict,
“If you are really up for it after such a long day, I think that would
be best.”
Her eyes swam with tears. She couldn’t speak, so she just hugged
both parents together. Then she started sobbing. That little cry
helped. She wiped her eyes, stood up straight and said, “I’m ready
mommy and daddy.”
Mommy took charge of the preparation details, “Go upstairs, undress,
and quickly shower. Then put on a modest bra. No panties, but wrap a
towel around your waist. Do it fast! Call us upstairs the minute
you’re ready.”
Brenda nodded, then fled.
_______________
In his bedroom, Jim’s sharp ears heard the shower run.
Ten minutes later, he heard Brenda’s voice calling her parents. She sounded strained.
Then he heard heavy footsteps on the stairway, and then footsteps
down the hall. It could only be his parents. The door to Brenda’s
bedroom closed firmly.
There were several minutes of silence.
Just when Jim dared hope that nothing would happen, he heard the first
sharp report of heavy plastic meeting firm young buttflesh. Brenda
immediately squealed out in pain. He lay on his bed and pulled his
pillow around his ears, but it didn’t help. He could still hear every
nuance of his sister’s spanking. It seemed to go on forever. As she
neared exhaustion, Brenda’s cries became hoarse and pitiful.
Jim wondered if it sounded just as bad when it was he getting the
hairbrush. He decided it must be so. At times like that, nobody can
stay brave.
Finally it was over. Brenda bawled piteously for
several more minutes, but finally the house again became quiet. He knew
he wouldn’t be allowed in there if her bottom was bare, so he waited.
As usual, they stayed with her a long time. Finally they left.
_______________
Jim crept into Brenda’s room.
At
first he thought she was asleep, but then he heard a gentle sob. He
caressed her back. She jumped at his touch, but then realized it was
Jim. He gave her a brotherly kiss on the cheek.
“Boy, you really got it.”
“Only what I expected,” she replied, “and honestly, no less than I deserved.”
“How are you feeling?”
“I
feel stupid,” she replied. “I put everybody through this drama and me
through this pain just because I decided to blow off curfew rules. I
knew better, but somehow it wasn’t important at the time.”
“Did you hear it?” she asked shyly.
“Yes. Honestly, I was hoping you’d want me to leave so I wouldn’t have to hear it.”
“I guessed that Jim, but I needed you here. Was it loud, was I a baby?”
“Yes, it was loud. Don’t worry Brenda, I yell too when I get the hairbrush. That hairbrush is serious business!”
Wide awake now, Brenda seemed to need to talk, so Jim listened to her story:
“They
told me to just wear a bra and a towel around my middle, and to call
when I was ready. I called, and they came right up. I never saw the
hairbrush, dad probably hid it behind his back so it wouldn’t freak me
out.”
“They were nice to me Jim! We talked for a while. I told them how
sorry I was, and I thanked them for swapping my punishment. I told them
I knew my spanking would be bad, and promised not to be mad at them.”
“Then we talked about rules, and the ones I had broken. I told them I
was sorry and that I deserved to be punished, but I had already learned
my lesson. At least I tried to say that because I was crying by then. I
think they got the message.”
“And then it happened. Mom took me gently by the shoulders and led
me to daddy’s side. Then she bent me over and quickly took my towel. I
don’t think daddy saw my front, but I was over his lap and naked from
my bra down!”
“He made me put my arms behind me and then he held them so tight it
hurt. And then he started spanking me with the hairbrush so I forgot
about my arms! I know I screamed and made all kinds of noise but I
couldn’t believe how much it hurt! It seemed to go on forever! I must
have struggled, but I was totally helpless. I couldn’t even kick. I
think mom was holding my feet.”
“It’s hard to describe, but I finally just surrendered. I think I
went limp and wasn’t screeching so loud. And then it was finally over,
but I didn’t even notice that for a while.”
“When he finally let
me up, I was supposed to let mommy put the towel around me, but I sort
of went crazy and gave them a dance show. I embarrassed dad, and mom
wasn’t pleased either.”
“But once I finally got calmed down and decently covered, mom and
dad really made me feel loved. They spent a lot of time with me and
made sure I was OK. They didn’t put ice on me like before though. They
said my bottom was supposed to hurt for a few days after a hair
brushing.
They used that lotion though. That helps some. I haven’t seen my
bottom, but I know it’s a mess. I haven’t tried sitting yet, but I know
it will hurt”
“Yep,” Jim said, “a lot of that sounds familiar to
me. Even that towel thing. And don’t feel bad, I’ve given our parents
some nude dance performances also.”
Brenda giggled at that mental image, but then yawned sleepily,
cueing Jim to leave so his sister could sleep. Painful as it was for
Brenda, the incident served as a great bonding experience for Jim and
Brenda. They remained fast friends through adulthood.
Almost immediately, life returned to normal in Brenda and Jim’s household.
Fortunately,
that was Brenda’s last hairbrush spanking. She did manage to earn two
hand spankings before reaching adulthood, but for other issues. From
that day on, Brenda was a believer in following rules.
