Our older grandkids especially delighted in hearing stories of how their father
misbehaved when he was a child; I have been requested to tell, over and over, the story
of how their daddy, at age six, got spanked, not for drawing on the carpet, but for
impudently replying, “It doesn’t matter,” when I scolded him for it. They repeatedly
had me take them upstairs to his old room and show them the exact spot where it
happened. Little Ben inspected the carpet for the ink stains, and I explained how that old
carpet was replaced many years ago. One later visit, Stevie and Ben led me upstairs to
the scene of the crime and laughed and challenged me as they pretended to write on the
carpet and boastfully tell me it doesn’t matter. They love to reenact the scene, and then
they rough me up, pull me down, and turn me over because they want to spank---me!
where's the article about "the pull over"?
