So Grandfather had offered me the deal...to accept or not?
My mind ran wild with the possibilities
Of this course of action.
Something primal deep down was pulling towards acceptance but a small voice inside was warning me of the consequences. ....

I sent a reply back to grandfather accepting his terms...
Nervously I awaited the post dropping on the mat...three days went by just bills and flyers and local menus...
A large A4 envelope dropped onto the floor I recognised the small neat handwriting as Grandfather's my heart beat faster as I slid a finger to open the letter. . I sat at my breakfast table
Reading the contents Grandfather had written ....
I am glad you have excepted the terms please read carefully the following procedures expected each one details your bad behaviour and subsequent punishment



Page 1
Vandalism
For this I have sentenced you to twelve strokes of the cane
You will attend to my study
In P.E shorts and vest
You will accept the punishment stoically and with absolutely no touching your bottom after the punishment commences.

There was more but my heart was beating loudly ..more pages of detailed punishment..
I saw that the caning was in a few days time
I gulped and absent mindedly rubbed my bottom. ...
