Definitely don't approve of this idea

Favourite for September

I do like an image that begs you to concoct a storyline around it.  I have no idea what the original story was with this one but to me it's a very powerful and dramatic scene.

The older daughter has got herself into a serious scrape and thoroughly deserved the belting her father has just given her.  They've gone through the usual ritual of allegedly affording her the privacy of getting the punishment in the privacy of her own bedroom, but she and her father will have both been fully aware that her younger sister in the next door room with the door open will have heard everything and probably found it highly entertaining to hear her big sister sobbing and begging him at every crack of his broad leather belt on her bare bottom.

And then, with the punishment officially over, he's stood her on the landing with her bright red bottom on display and told she's going to stand there for half an hour with her hands on her head.  The stinging in her bottom may fade a little over that time but the ache in her arms will grow.

The ritual was that their father made a point of telling the younger sister that she was not to come out of her room to take a look unless she wanted to get the same.  But the reality was that all three of them knew he would go downstairs and close the living room door and pretty soon curiosity would win out and she'd chance her arm to sneak out and peak a look.

She'd have a good giggle at the sight of her elder sibling, safe in the knowledge that she wasn't in a position to make a scene about it.
