Thats hilarious Jenny ...when you think how normal it all was . No matter how old you were Dad would always say " You're never too old to get a good few larrops ,put a few stripes on that backside of yours " ...Saying your sorry knowing what's in store never stopped anything ...I think th whole story was that with every wallop was a syllable....I will not have cheek -i- ness going on un- der this roof ..do you un -der-stand. ( you'd be glowing red for the day ) trying to sit down for family dinner or tea afterwards was even more embarrassing..your brothers and sisters all knowing how that ass was feeling .Ah the 80s in Ireland ..Every family's Normal Day
