Father described Jessica [Jessie], as an old fashion gentle soul with high religious and moral standards, when he told us he intended to marry her. I don’t know about the *gentleness* aspect so much; but she was very *Old Fashion* in her standards and when it came to *family values*. Especially when it came to discipline side of things and how *children* are required to behave.If we *stepped out of line* or *misbehaved*, any of us (regardless of age) [even to the slightest degree], the ever present threat of the *hairbrush* *manifested Its presence*. In short, pants [or skirt] and *panties* came down and you [We] had that long *emphasized* *talk* over her knee.Boy, That sweet, old fashion girl [as father described her] could spank. After a while, under her *rule* Sitting could be considered a *privilege* [or so that’s how it was perceived by us *kids]. -- source link
