Thoughts for a March Morning

We've entered Spring apparently although to be honest it feels colder to me than last week but school is officially back after ther half time which to be honest is where Chris really feels he belongs still although obviously you can't just turn up.

Sometimes you used to hear of people who had managed that a few years after they'd left where presumably they still look very similiar but with all the checks and that today really not gonna happen.

There's a whirl in the kitchen at the minute as I've got up, reading a few things, trying to avoid all that War stuff that's on the radio and tv news at the minute and put my clothes in the washer as while boys tended to have a reputation among girls for being "smelly", I don't like being smelly although I don't see anything wrong with getting a bit muck on me playing.

It was Mum's who tended to be all aghast when you came in with mud on socks, legs and hands but then really that was the best reason going ro put us in shorts and t shirts easier to keep us and them clean while keeping us fully occupied, well out of troubles way.

Dad was never so fussied about that, just never ever wake him up prematurely by putting the radio on when there's thunder and lightning and then hearing loud arcing from its loudspeaker.

You'd end up with burning bottom later on for it!

He's an enigma to be honest - why men seem, you know distant with emotions in bag screaming to get out but seldom do - at time riddled with contridictions and conflicted at times too which with things like a birthday around the corner you're kind of reminded of.

Actually most people say I'm more like Mum.

I don't know if he's got anything planned or even a card really, I mean last year he didn't do anything for it which is something Mum always did and he was there.

He never did anything like that on birthday morning although for all my thoughts around spanking I'd of had no issues with that kind, done with love and affection by him.

The birthday spanking ritual for us?

 Birthday Spanking’ is a popular children's’ birthday custom which for many people continue into adulthood. 

The birthday spanking, unlike a punishment spanking, is meant to be given in a fun and lighthearted manner with lots of humorous fun and banter for both parties. 

The birthday spanking, is applied depending one own family tradition, to either the seat of the skirt/trousers/pants or the underwear, or even the bare bottom, but it’s usually given over the lap by the child’s parent. 

The number of customary smacks given is denoted by the age of the birthday boy or girl, ie: one smack for each year of life and always one extra hard smack at the end for luck, as in the rhyme, ‘One extra to grow on’. 

Therefore a 10 year old would receive 11 smacks in total. Such Birthday spankings are usually a highlight of a child’s birthday party with all their friends and family gathered round to bear witness that the spanking has been duly given and the luck has been passed on for another year.

Personally in so far as a adult little boys go if you were spanked as a child or are getting them now, I feel you should be given such a spanking as a matter of course dropping you on that most special of days into a child-like state.

The burning question if you poardon the pun is whither or not I get one this year.
