00:00Chapter 2 Caught Red-Handed
00:02A whole week passed without incident, but Benny couldn't help herself.
00:07The construction site was like a magnet, drawing her back time and time again.
00:13She'd pass by it on the way home from school, only to catch haunting glimpses of the installation.
00:20The new mall was going to have carnival rides and attractions.
00:24On a fateful Friday night, Benny peeked out her bedroom window towards the forbidden construction
00:31site. Even though the sun had set, the Arizona summer air was still scorching, so Benny changed
00:38out of her Arizona Wildcats pajamas and threw on a baggy tank top and cut-off denim jeans.
00:46She pulled out her flip phone and texted Blake, using an app to add plenty of emotes.
00:52Hey B, they added some weird new stuff at the construction site.
00:56I'm checking it out. Meet me there. Winky face emoticon. Signed, B.
01:02When Benny heard her notification, alert,
01:04she grinned with delight as she flipped open her phone to find Blake's response.
01:09No. I'm crunching tonight.
01:12It's Friday. Homework can wait. I'm coming to pick you up.
01:16Happy at the speed of light emoticon.
01:18I'm not going to the construction site. Why don't you come hit the books with me?
01:22I'll make you hot chocolate.
01:24Eye roll and pout emoticon. You're no fun. Last time you said you had a good time.
01:30Yeah, it was fun to do once. But if you keep going back there, you're asking for trouble.
01:35I hear they had some problems with kids tagging the site.
01:38Then you should come with me to help me keep an eye out.
01:41No. I'm not going, and neither should you.
01:44Fuming, Benny brought up her emote app to send Blake her favorite middle finger emoticon.
01:50Don't tell me what to do. Double middle finger emoticon.
01:54But before hitting send, Benny deleted the draft text, instead typing.
01:59Fine. It's after my curfew anyway. See you whenever.
02:03So, you're not going to the site?
02:05Humpf, emoticon. I don't feel like it.
02:08Good. I'll be done by tomorrow morning. Want to see a movie? I hear Megamind is good.
02:14Benny ignored the last text notification. Now that Blake was off her case, she'd made her
02:20decision. She didn't feel like going to the construction site without Blake, but she hadn't
02:26promised not to go. She knew full well that the eight o'clock curfew was a firm rule, and she'd
02:32probably get grounded, but so what? What was there to do in Arizona anyway?
02:38Benny fumed about all this as she snuck out her bedroom window and strolled to the site,
02:43flashlight in hand. The night was still and quiet,
02:48and Benny felt a rush of excitement as she climbed over the fence.
02:53She wandered around the site, taking in the sights and sounds.
02:58Plastic displays of strange cartoon characters gave it a haunting, playful quality,
03:03and she wandered through a hall of mirrors. But her moment of triumph was short-lived.
03:09As she turned to leave, she came face to face with the security guard.
03:14Hey, you. What are you doing here? The guard shouted. Benny froze,
03:19her heart pounding in her chest. She knew she was in trouble.
03:23The guard escorted her off the site and called the police.
03:28Benny was terrified as she waited for the police to arrive.
03:32She knew her parents would be furious when they found out what had happened.
03:36The security guard pointed at an obscene spray-painted image on the concrete walls.
03:43Bet that graffiti's your handiwork, isn't it? Benny's lip trembled.
03:47None, no, sir. Well, then it was one of your little friends.
03:51Here are the cops now. Thankfully, when the police arrived,
03:55one of the officers recognized her from church and vouched for her.
04:00With a huff, the security guard decided to shrug off the matter of her trespassing.
04:06The cops gave Benny a ride home, but their jokes stung at her heart like barbs.
04:11We'll have to have a little chat with your parents, Benny,
04:14said Officer O'Hane, who had rescued her from the security guard.
04:18I imagine her parents will be wanting to have a little chat with little misdemeanor as well,
04:24chuckled O'Hane's partner, a female cop with tight black hair.
04:29At home, Benny's dad shook both of the cops' hands as her mom sobbed at the kitchen table.
04:35Thank you, Officer O'Hane. I promise you, Benny will not be giving you any more trouble.
04:40Officer O'Hane glanced knowingly at something hanging on the wall.
04:44Well, don't be too hard on her. She's not the graffiti artist we were after.
04:49Benny followed his gaze. Officer O'Hare was looking at a thick wooden paddle,
04:55decorated with a cartoon image of a crying boy and girl holding their bottoms.
05:00Engraved on the surface were the words,
05:03Attitude Adjuster, and twelve small holes had been drilled through the center in two neat lines.
05:10Benny felt a thrill travel up her spine. The paddle was an old novelty item from
05:15her parents' days at university together. They'd never once used it on her, though they
05:21had bent her over the knee for an old-fashioned spanking quite a few times during her younger
05:26years. But she hadn't been spanked since she was twelve years old.
05:31Don't worry, Officer. I won't be too hard on her,
05:34but Benny still needs to learn a hard lesson about trespassing.
05:37Dad turned to Benny, his brow knit. Benny, go to your room. We need to have a talk.
05:43Benny nodded, feeling guilty and ashamed. She knew she had let her parents down,
05:48and she was scared of what they would say. She was going to be grounded for sure.
05:53But as she climbed the stairs to her room, Benny couldn't help but wonder what the future held for
05:59her. Would her parents ever trust her again? I don't deserve their trust, thought Benny.
06:06And with one final, furtive glance at the wooden paddle, Benny gulped.
06:11That's what I deserve. Still, I hope they just yell at me and ground me.
06:16Only time would tell, but for now, Benny knew she had some serious apologizing to do.
06:23As she sat on her bed, Benny rehearsed her apologies, trying to ignore the mental image
06:28of the paddle impacting her bottom again and again as she made all those same apologies.
06:36Chapter Three The Attitude Adjuster
06:40Benny sat on her bed, taking deep breaths. But the second she heard the knock at her door,
06:46she felt her heart pounding in her chest. Come in.
06:50As soon as Mom and Dad opened the door, Benny knew her fate. Dad was holding the wooden paddle,
06:57the attitude adjuster. She couldn't believe what was happening. Her parents were actually going to
07:03paddle her. The novelty item had always been a joke in their family, something they'd laugh
07:09about but never actually use. As she took in the cartoon image of the crying little girl on the
07:16paddle, Benny saw her future. All Benny's delusions about being all grown up were about
07:23to be shattered by that same paddle. Benny, we've tried talking to you,
07:28we've tried grounding you, but nothing seems to work. You keep getting into trouble,
07:31and it's time we took a different approach, her dad said, his voice firm but not unkind.
07:37Benny looked at her mom, hoping for some support, some sign that this was all just a bad dream.
07:43But her mom's face was set in a determined expression. You've brought this on yourself,
07:49Benny. You need to learn responsibility, and you will start learning it tonight.
07:54Benny gripped her knees and felt the shiver of tension ripple through her legs.
08:00She knew she had messed up, but she never thought it would come to this.
08:04Please, Mom, don't let Dad do this, Benny pleaded. Her mom shook her head.
08:10We're both going to take a turn paddling you, Benny, and you only have yourself to blame.
08:16Dad approached, and Benny flinched, afraid he would start wailing on her right away,
08:21but Dad looked at her reassuringly. Take a good look at this paddle, Benny.
08:25Benny gulped, her eyes fixed on the wooden paddle in her dad's hand.
08:31She could see the small holes drilled in the middle, and she knew their purpose,
08:35to cut down on wind resistance and add extra impact to each swat.
08:41Dad sighed. Benny, your mom and I stopped spanking you years ago,
08:45because we thought you were too old for a spanking at twelve. That was a mistake.
08:49There are going to be some changes around here. From now on, every act of deliberate
08:53disobedience will earn you an instant spanking. Benny's mind raced as she
08:57processed the implications. The prospect of just one spanking was bad enough.
09:03But, but I'm almost in college. Mom nodded, unmoved.
09:07And unless you fix your attitude, you will be sitting on a sore,
09:11spank-bottom all through college. Please, Daddy, I know I was bad.
09:16I'm sorry. I promise to do better. I won't let you down.
09:20Benny saw a flash of pity in her dad's eyes, before he hardened his face.
09:25I want to believe you, Benny, but there's only one way to make sure.
09:29Because I love you, I'm going to spank you. If you're really sorry, then be a brave girl and
09:33take your licks. I'll go easier on you if you submit willingly. Are you ready to obey?
09:38Benny wanted to cry, to bury her face in her daddy's arms and plead for mercy,
09:43to flee from the terrible paddle and hide behind her mommy's skirts.
09:49She wondered if she could run away and join the circus as a clown.
09:53But Benny also wanted to be forgiven, whatever the cost.
09:57And for that, she knew she needed to be spanked. Her heart heavy, Benny made her decision.
10:05Yes, sir. I'll accept my spanking. At least, I'll try my best.
10:10She heard her mom sigh with relief, but if Dad had been worried, he hid it perfectly.
10:16Very good, Benny. In that case, stand up, turn around, and climb onto your bed.
10:21Now rest your weight on your elbows and knees. That's it. Bottoms up.
10:25Benny followed her instructions slowly, her legs trembling. She suddenly remembered she was wearing
10:31her old, cut-off denim jeans and regretted her wardrobe choice.
10:36Why? Oh, why had she cut them to just below her cheeks?
10:42How many times had she ignored her dad's comments that she looked ridiculous as he glanced at her
10:47from behind his newspaper? Each time, she'd played off his concern with a joke.
10:53I'm eighteen now, Dad. As Benny crawled onto her bed like a toddler,
10:58she suddenly didn't feel eighteen years old anymore.
11:01She remembered other wisecracks she had used when her outfits had invited parental inspection.
11:07How am I ever supposed to find a husband if I don't advertise?
11:11As Benny raised her hips into the air, she felt the denim fabric ride up.
11:16Now she imagined how ridiculous she must look. Who had she been kidding but herself?
11:23She'd been letting her ass hang out. But only now did she feel the absurdity of it.
11:28If only she had listened. The first paddle stroke hadn't even landed,
11:34and already Benny felt punished enough by the crippling sense of her own stupidity.
11:39You don't want me to live here forever, do you?
11:41She'd once joked when Mom had made a fuss about her immodest short shorts.
11:47Now, as Benny considered the prospect of living under her parents' roof forever,
11:52those words took on new meaning. She imagined herself as a bitter old
11:57maid with gray hair, still going over Mommy or Daddy's lap for a spanking.
12:03Forever and ever, thought Benny. From now on, Benny knew her bottom was in
12:09danger of a spanking if she misbehaved. It was as though the last six years of
12:14growing up hadn't happened. She remembered clearly the thrill of being
12:19told it was time for a spanking when she was twelve years old, as if it had happened mere
12:24minutes ago. At that moment, Benny knew that she would never be too old for a spanking.
12:32This entire emotional storm played out in Benny's heart in the few seconds it took her to climb
12:37onto her bed and assume the position. As her dad patted her bottom a few times
12:43experimentally, he encouraged her. Good girl. Now, concentrate on staying
12:48in that position. At the sound of her father's words, Benny
12:51suddenly woke up, strangely soothed by being called a good girl by her father again.
12:58It reminded her of the days when she was small enough to ask for piggyback rides and play
13:02pony girl with him. Benny missed those days, but now she felt
13:07the same love in her father's words. She was still his little girl.
13:12Benny, your mother and I are each going to take a turn paddling you.
13:16First, I want you to count each stroke of the paddle out loud. Can you do that?
13:19Benny nodded. Yes, sir. How many do I have to count?
13:24Benny felt the surface of the paddle pressed lightly against her cheeks,
13:28flattening them like dough. Dad's voice answered with a hint of pity,
13:33but without a hint of remorse. You let me worry about that. Just
13:37focus on keeping count. Benny rocked forward slightly,
13:41realizing she'd have to concentrate on keeping her balance in this position.
13:46Yes, sir. She felt her dad reposition
13:48her waist so that she had plenty of room ahead of her.
13:53Even if a stroke of the paddle sent her flying forward, she'd only land on some soft pillows.
13:59Benny felt oddly comforted by the gesture. Even now, dad was making sure she was safe.
14:06Her childhood stuffed toy, a chibi-faced Darth Vader plushie, stared up at her encouragingly.
14:12Benny braced herself for what was coming next. She knew it was going to hurt, but more than that,
14:19she knew it was going to be a lesson she would never forget.
14:23Then let's begin, Benny. Grit your teeth.
14:26As dad tapped her behind with the paddle a final time,
14:29she took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves.
14:33Thwomp! At first, the sound surprised her more than the pain.
14:37It was a thick, dense wallop, nothing like the crisp sound she remembered coming from behind her
14:44when she was on the receiving end of a hand spanking. As the wooden surface landed directly
14:50on the unprotected lower cheeks that poked cheekily out of her immodest shorts, Benny felt
14:56the rough paddle send the force rippling through her bottom, then the lift as it glided upwards
15:01across her shorts. She felt herself getting a wedgie, and as she caught herself on her elbows,
15:09she realized with horror that she was now acutely aware of two distinct pains.
15:14Oh, crap! thought Benny. Until the age of four,
15:18most of Benny's bottom warmings had been delivered over her skirt clad behind.
15:24Then at the age of five, she decided she never wanted to wear dresses again,
15:28so afterwards she was usually spanked over her jean-clad behind until the age of twelve.
15:35But on a few occasions, Benny's antics and stubbornness had earned herself a bare-bottom
15:40spanking, even with an implement. Once, when five-year-old Benny had
15:46deliberately aimed a rubber paddleball at Mom's eye twice, Mom had cut the ball from its string
15:52and used the plastic paddle as a weapon of opportunity to tan Benny's hide.
15:58The thin plastic produced a sharp sting, but not the same whomph of a heavier implement,
16:04even a hand. Nevertheless, Mom had managed to build the stinging sensation to a fiery burn
16:11after several minutes of steady application of the plastic paddle.
16:16Years ago, when twelve-year-old Benny was still under the mistaken impression that she was too
16:21old for a spanking, she had overheard her mother and father debating the merits of
16:26different implements Benny's grandparents had used to punish them back in the day.
16:31She recalled the debate had been rather technical,
16:34even touching on the distinction between stingy and thuddy implements.
16:39Mom's plastic paddle had been the quintessential stingy implement,
16:43in contrast to Grandma's thuddy, wooden clothesbrush which Dad favored.
16:49Shortly after Benny had overheard that argument, Dad had introduced Benny to Grandma's very own
16:54reliable clothesbrush. On that occasion, twelve-year-old Benny had decided that if
17:00she was old enough to watch a PG-13 movie, she was old enough to watch an R-rated movie,
17:07and successfully acquired one from Blockbuster for her sleepover party.
17:12After getting caught traumatizing a room full of her girlfriends,
17:16Benny had discovered the meaning of thuddiness firsthand.
17:20The long-handled brush didn't have the same agonizing slow burn as the plastic paddle,
17:26but after only twenty-four whacks, twelve-year-old Benny was convinced
17:30to be on her best behavior for a good long while.
17:35The fact that all of Benny's sleepover friends easily guessed how she was punished
17:39only added extra humiliation to the experience. She'd wanted to prove how grown up she was at twelve,
17:46only to get spanked and sent to bed sobbing. After that traumatizing experience, Benny had
17:53carefully avoided breaking any rule that merited a spanking for six years.
17:59Finally, she'd let herself believe that she'd outgrown the threat of spanking.
18:05The silly paddle on the wall had held no sense of doom for her—she'd laughed at it.
18:11With one well-placed stroke, the silly paddle transformed Becky's universe.
18:17Finally, at the tender age of eighteen, Benny had learned that it was no joke.
18:22The Attitude Adjuster lived up to its name. After one stroke of the paddle, Benny felt all
18:28the sting of Mom's plastic paddle, combined with all the thud of Grandma's clothes brush.
18:36Dad had mastered the use of his arm and wrist,
18:39arcing the paddle stroke to make the perfect first impression.
18:42Again, all of this emotional turmoil took place in less than a second before the ripple of the
18:49first paddle stroke finished reverberating through Benny's behind. Benny gasped as she
18:55felt the aftershock, her mouth held agape. Strangest of all, Benny wasn't that scared
19:02at the moment—she was too impressed by the new sensation. So this was being spanked.
19:09Every spanking that had come before was a picnic compared to this.
19:13Benny almost felt honored.
19:16This is a big girl spanking. Now I'm really going to get it,
19:20Benny thought, digging her fingernails into her comforter.
19:24Dad raised an eyebrow, wondering if Benny had forgotten her count already
19:29or if she was being deliberately stubborn.
19:31Count one, Benny.
19:33Benny blushed, still processing the conflicting sensations, and lifted her bottom back into the
19:38air. She clenched her buttocks and was very aware of the line where the denim shorts stretched
19:45taut across her cheeks.
19:47One, sir.
19:48Dad didn't bring down the paddle right away. Benny had just enough time to think.
19:54Wait, did that even hurt? There's no way it hurt that much,
19:58before she felt the second stroke. It landed with a sharp pop, aimed directly across the
20:04center of her bottom, this time without the upward angle Dad had used previously.
20:10Benny clenched her jaw and hummed, the pain of the two incredible strokes now making it
20:15harder for her to think. Two, she managed to say.
20:20In the precious seconds before the third strike of the paddle,
20:24Benny had time to consider her situation.
20:27The more direct blow had been all thud, and Benny realized it had taken an effort to keep
20:33herself from barreling forward into the pillows and onto Chibi-Darth Vader.
20:38She had a sudden, stupid vision of herself in a scene straight out of The Empire Strikes Back.
20:45Chibi-Darth Vader holding up a lightsaber paddle.
20:48Benny, I am your father, and you deserve a good spanking.
20:52Benny Skywalker is bawling as she holds on for dear life above the abyss.
20:57No, that's not true, that's impossible.
21:00Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
21:03Benny Skywalker throws herself to the abyss below, only for Chibi-Vader to lift her back
21:09up with the force and deposit her across his knee, bottoms up.
21:13Naughty, naughty, papa spank.
21:16As if to add a touch of realism to the absurd skit playing in Benny's imagination,
21:22the third stroke of the paddle landed directly on top of where Dad had landed the second stroke.
21:29Benny tried to contain her roar of pain again, only to let out a low, guttural grunt.
21:35All thoughts of being spanked by Darth Vader were driven out of her mind,
21:39along with her instructions to count each stroke.
21:44Dad raised the paddle slowly, then halted, waiting to hear Benny count the third swat.
21:50Benny, your count, count three.
21:52Benny swallowed, feeling stupid.
21:55The wedgie relaxed slightly.
21:57Three, sir.
21:58She dared to look back, and wished she hadn't.
22:02Dad's face meant business.
22:04Do you want extras?
22:05Benny shook her head.
22:07No, sir.
22:08Dad patted her bottom, indicating he was about to start again.
22:12Then concentrate on keeping count, no more warnings.
22:15Benny knew she had to make an effort to stay in position and count,
22:19but she suspected that her courage would fail her sooner or later.
22:23Benny welcomed the fear of her father, hoping it would act against her fear of the paddle,
22:28helping keep her in place and endure.
22:32Perhaps because he was still a little annoyed, Mr. Backcook put more of his arm into the fourth
22:38stroke of the paddle, landing it low, so that half of the paddle covered her sit spots
22:43and half covered her upper thighs.
22:46Four, sir.
22:47Benny rocked forward with a whoop, her face flopping onto a pillow,
22:51before she quickly lifted herself back into position and counted.
22:55Four, sir.
22:56Desperate to display perfect obedience.
22:58As the ache flared up across her thighs and sit spots,
23:02Benny's consciousness returned to the peculiar quality of the pain itself.
23:07The rising ache in her gluteus maximus, the building sting on the surface of her skin.
23:13Now she was aware of something else for the first time.
23:18The ache was different beneath her tight shorts, as compared to her bare skin.
23:23She realized that the shorts, protecting her bottom, were effectively holding her
23:28cheeks tightly in place for the paddle and trapping the rising heat against her flesh
23:33like a snug blanket.
23:35The gremlins were now toasting marshmallows over two little campfires,
23:40the rising heat trapped beneath each of the back pockets of her shorts.
23:46The first four strokes had nearly covered the entire surface area of her posterior and
23:51upper thighs already.
23:53Her whole bottom hurt, but each part of her bottom hurt in different ways.
23:59Benny's breath started to flutter.
24:01To her own surprise, her eyes were completely dry.
24:05She was too awake to start crying.
24:08Knowing they'd raised a tough cookie in Benny, Mom and Dad were not surprised in the least.
24:14Dad looked to Mom and they both nodded to each other, reassuringly.
24:20Dad had been tempted to make Benny start over from the beginning for leaving her spanking
24:24position, but decided that wouldn't be fair.
24:27Poor girl is doing her best.
24:29Poor girl is doing her best.
24:31Both Mom and Dad thought, remembering their own days in this position.
24:35Dad decided to gradually pick up the pace.
24:39He could tell that the first four strokes had produced precisely the effect he desired.
24:44Benny's willful spirit was now good and tamed.
24:48She wanted to be a good girl and take her licks, so now it was his job to provide.
24:54After feeling the fifth smack land across the center of her bottom, the sorest spot,
24:59Benny howled, pressing her face into the comforter and bucking up her legs at the knees.
25:05She just barely managed to stay in position, quivering from the effort.
25:11Dad gave Benny just enough time to count.
25:14Five, sir.
25:15Before landing the sixth paddle stroke in quick succession, aiming upward and tugging
25:20at the denim shorts now digging into Benny's butt crack.
25:24Yow!
25:25Ooh, oh!
25:26Benny's wail became a moan as she collapsed forward into her pillow.
25:31The count slipped her mind as she tugged at the rough cut shorts to relieve what was now
25:35a proper wedgie.
25:37Hands off your backside, young lady.
25:40That one doesn't count.
25:41Dad barked.
25:42No!
25:44Whined Benny, feeling the denim fabric snap back into place as it slipped between her
25:49fingers.
25:50Oh, gosh, my ass must be eating these shorts.
25:54She thought stupidly before she felt something snatch her hand away from her behind by her
25:59wrist.
26:00Last warning, Benny, back in position and keep your hands on the mattress.
26:05You'll start your count at six.
26:07It was here that Benny made her critical mistake.
26:10So far, she had resisted the urge to break down crying, but the heat from her seat was
26:15just enough to make her feel hot under the collar.
26:19The humiliation and discomfort of the wedgie was the straw that broke the camel's back.
26:24No, I'm fixing my pants.
26:27Benny made a heroic tug to liberate her wrist from dad's grip and to alleviate her wedgie
26:32with her free hand.
26:34Then she felt herself lifted into the air and saw her room spinning around her.
26:40Dad had lifted Benny up by her torso and legs as easily as he ever had when she was little,
26:46spun her around and gently flopped her across his lap as he seated himself on her bed.
26:52No more arguing.
26:53You just earned an extra spanking, little missy.
26:56Benny squirmed and looked over both her shoulders, trying to get her bearings.
27:02In front of her, Benny saw mom catch her eye, shaking her head at Benny with disappointment,
27:08and behind her, clap.
27:11Dad's open palm slapped across the lower center of both her cheeks.
27:16As her shorts rode higher up her crack, Benny felt the fabric of her shorts pull away from
27:22her grip.
27:22She had just lost the game tug-of-war over her shorts, and dad hadn't even been trying.
27:30Her hands scrambled to regain her grip on her shorts.
27:34But the wedgie, please!
27:36Whack!
27:38The second spank landed on exactly the same spot,
27:41though this time the wedgie left her lower cheeks unprotected.
27:46The old ache of the paddle flared up,
27:48and Benny could feel the fresh imprint of dad's mighty palm on top of it.
27:53I don't care that your shorts are uncomfortable.
27:55Serves you right for wearing such a silly outfit.
27:58Benny felt her hand pull free of her shorts as dad twisted her arm carefully,
28:02but irresistibly, pinning her arm against the small of her back.
28:08The strength of her father's gesture, combined with the gentleness,
28:12was enough to take the fight out of her before a third and fourth smack
28:16landed in quick succession across her left and right cheek in turn.
28:20Benny's wedgie was getting worse with each smack.
28:24Butt-butt!
28:24No more butts!
28:26Dad spanked across the center of Benny's butt to add emphasis to the final word,
28:31then settled into a steady rhythm of spanks,
28:34Benny keeping tempo with little, oofs, and eeps of discomfort.
28:39When you're ready to obey, we will continue your paddling.
28:42Now that he had Benny's full attention, dad deliberately controlled the strength of the
28:46spanks so that she could hear him over the brisk sound of clap-clap-clap from behind.
28:52Ouch!
28:53Yow!
28:54Oh!
28:55Okay!
28:55Ow!
28:56Yeah, yes!
28:57Eee, yikes!
28:59Yes, sir!
29:00Thanks to her years in track and basketball, Benny prided herself on her mental toughness.
29:06The earlier paddling had been intimidating, certainly,
29:10but she hadn't even felt close to tears.
29:12Now, the combination of the building pain and the humiliation of being draped across
29:17daddy's knee was taking its toll.
29:20She felt two tears welling up and took a sharp breath through her nose,
29:25hoping to hold them back.
29:27Dad nodded as he heard Benny answer affirmatively.
29:31He landed a playful swat and paused the over-the-knee spanking.
29:36Good!
29:36If you're ready for your paddling, we can try again.
29:39You will start your count at one.
29:42Benny's eyes shot open.
29:43Hunching her shoulders, she craned her neck to look behind her, hoping she misheard.
29:49Wha?
29:50One?
29:50Buh!
29:51But we were at six!
29:52Dad's hand hovered in midair.
29:54Too late, Benny.
29:55If you're ready to obey, we will start your paddling over from the beginning.
29:59No!
30:00But!
30:01Dad landed a quick spank before Benny could protest.
30:04No!
30:05More!
30:06Buts!
30:08Dad punctuated each of his words in turn.
30:10First with a resounding spank across her left thigh, then another across her right thigh.
30:17The final spank landed across both her sit spots and acted as an effective closing argument.
30:24Benny was no longer interested in debating Dad on the point.
30:28Oh!
30:29Uh-ho!
30:30Yowch!
30:31Yee-ow!
30:32Now are we ready to obey?
30:34Yes!
30:34Yes, sir!
30:35Ah!
30:36Huh!
30:36Hoo!
30:37As Benny caught her breath, the two tears returned.
30:40And she couldn't fight them.
30:43They felt like two weights at the ends of her eyelashes.
30:46And as she gave up, they welled over.
30:49It was strangely relieving.
30:51Now, all she had to worry about was her aching behind.
30:56She felt Dad put a hand on her shoulder, then lift her up off his lap so he could stand up.
31:02Good girl.
31:03Then let's try again.
31:04Mother, help me out.
31:05Distracted by her tears, Benny didn't pay attention to her mom and dad's
31:10exchange comments about her punishment.
31:13As she caught sight of the paddle, the grim realization that she was about to experience
31:18her paddling all over again from the beginning came crashing down on her head.
31:24At the sight of the bawling cartoon children, Benny clenched her cheeks and felt the wedgie
31:29tighten.
31:31Her punishment hadn't even started, and already she was bawling wet, sloppy tears,
31:36just like the cartoon boy and girl painted onto the attitude adjuster.
31:42Benny snapped to attention as she felt something unsnap the button of her denim shorts.
31:48Reflexively, Benny grasped at the waistband as she noticed Mom about to tug her shorts down.
31:54Ma?
31:54Mom?
31:55What are you doing?
31:56Mom shook her head, hiding a smile as she slid the pants down past Benny's hips.
32:02Getting rid of these old jeans.
32:04As Benny felt her wedgie disappear, she sighed with relief and released her weak hold on her
32:09pants.
32:11With a grimace, Benny noticed her panties were still riding her crotch and made a gesture
32:16to fix them.
32:17Then she noticed her mom inspecting her underwear.
32:21Mother and daughter both read the words printed on the back of her girl boxers.
32:26It ain't gonna spank itself.
32:29Slowly, mother and daughter looked up and made eye contact.
32:33Mom raised an eyebrow.
32:34What are those, Benny?
32:36I didn't buy you those cheeky things.
32:38Overhearing this, Dad turned away from straightening Benny's bed and saw the cheeky
32:43slogan in question.
32:45Benny, why are you wearing those around?
32:47Pointlessly, Benny covered the slogan with her hands.
32:51It's just a joke.
32:53I saw them at the store and picked them up on a whim.
32:56I just thought they were funny.
32:58Mom pulled Benny's hand away and held her hand.
33:01Benny felt nervous about having her backside be the center of attention, wondering if she
33:06had just placed that same backside in additional peril.
33:10But as mom squeezed her hand, Benny relaxed slightly.
33:15Dad continued the interrogation.
33:17If it's a joke, then who is the joke for?
33:19Not that boy from school, I hope?
33:21The Tanner son?
33:22Mom smiled softly.
33:24Blake Tanner?
33:25I know his parents.
33:27He's a good boy.
33:28Not good enough to be reading anything written on my daughter's underpants, he isn't.
33:32Benny blushed.
33:33No, it's not like that.
33:36He's not my boyfriend or anything.
33:38He's just a friend who's a boy.
33:40We're not showing each other anything.
33:42These aren't for him, they're for me.
33:45Benny quailed under her father's steely gaze, but finally he relented.
33:50I trust you, Benny.
33:51I've never known you to break any of our rules about boys in the house.
33:54You can keep the underpants.
33:56For now.
33:57Given that you bought them as a joke, I'd say they turned out to be a pretty ironic fashion choice.
34:01Benny exhaled with relief before mulling over the foreboding words,
34:06For now.
34:08Dad fixed his grip on the paddle and pointed to the bed.
34:12Now, let's finish what we started, Benny.
34:14Remember, you still have a paddling for mom to look forward to after I'm through with you.
34:18Benny swallowed a lump in her throat.
34:21Yes, sir.
34:22I'm sorry.
34:23Please, daddy.
34:24Couldn't we pick up where we left off?
34:26My butt's already so sore.
34:28Consciously, Benny avoided using the forbidden word, but...
34:33She knew it would be a risk to argue, but if basketball had taught her anything,
34:38it was to shoot your shot.
34:40But as dad narrowed his eyes again, she wilted.
34:44Benny, I promised you a paddling, and I'm keeping that promise.
34:47You earned it in the first place through deliberate disobedience,
34:50and you've earned the extras through sheer stubbornness.
34:52That's your comeuppance.
34:53Dad held the paddle up for Benny to inspect, then placed it in her hands.
34:58I don't get any pleasure out of paddling you, but I want you to learn from this experience.
35:02You are practicing obedience.
35:04Disobedience got you into this fix.
35:06Obedience is what will get you out.
35:08Are you ready to face what's coming to you?
35:10There was no anger in dad's voice.
35:12Benny felt the weight of the paddle in her hands, thinking about the words,
35:16Attitude Adjuster.
35:19With fresh resolution, Benny handed the paddle back to her dad.
35:23Yes, daddy, I'm still scared, but I want to be brave.
35:27Please, paddle me.
35:29Dad's disapproving gaze melted into a smile.
35:33That's my little firebrand.
35:35He put a reassuring hand on the back of her shoulder and led Benny back to the bed,
35:40where she meekly reassumed the position.
35:43As she was trying to mentally prepare herself for her ordeal, she heard a metallic clank.
35:49Twisting her head to look behind her,
35:52Benny caught a glimpse of mom tossing her cut-off shorts into the trash.
35:57Ah, but I love those shorts.
36:00At the mention of the word, but dad playfully padded her posterior with the paddle.
36:06Benny froze as she felt the cool wood press against her hot cheeks.
36:11Mom smiled cutely at the sight of her daughter's predicament.
36:15Oh, do you want them back?
36:17You can put them on right now.
36:19Glancing at her behind, Benny remembered the recent discomfort of the wedgie.
36:24That's okay. They were getting too small for me anyway.
36:28A wise choice, Benny. Remember to count each stroke,
36:31answered dad, patting Benny's bum to prepare her for what was coming next.
36:36Too nervous to answer, Benny nodded and settled her weight on her knees and elbows,
36:41thinking about the tingling sensation as she lifted her already sore bottom high into the air.
36:48Benny had a revelation.
36:50During her first paddling, she had let her mind wander to all sorts of absurd places.
36:56But after being reassured by her parents, she felt a new sense of focus,
37:01like she was about to take a three-point shot before the clock ran out on the basketball court.
37:07Benny knew she had to do two simple things—stay in place and count.
