in my day at schoolit was hard to keep the fact from your parents that you had been caned. Dad or mum would meet somebody a few days later and in conversation say you had been caned. It was not a taboo subject then and often parents would talk about their son getting caned with another boy. As soon as my parents found out it was a few more of the cane froom dad on my bottom. It was also hard to hide as it was often hard to sit down and mum would notice this and would ask if you had been caned at school. I dare not lie and to admit it meant one rhing when dad got home. "Go to your room and get undressed and come down with the cane (at a stated time.) It was no use trying to say you had not done it and were caned wrongly. It was always the same regardless of how sore my bottom was from being caned at school. "give me the cane and over the chair. Its six for you playing about at school." Then the cane was whacked hard six times on my sore bottom.....it was always six for getting the cane at school. Dad was a hard caner and always did it to me and my brother on the bare bottom. I never recall him giving it to me or my brother on our pants...it was always our bare bottoms and it really hurt.
