My grandmother. A memory

„When the mind does wrong, the bottom gets it hot”. This was one of my grandmother's saying when she decided I had no rescue and had to pay for my fault, Of course, the saying comes from the popular wisdom who concludes that the best way to adjust a bad attitude is a good wooping. My grandmother usually call her husband to redden my bottom. Only once, when I was rude and very disrespectful, I remember she pull down my pyjamas trousers and slippered my bare thighs. And she thretened me that if I was rude again, she would rub my lips with hot pepper. „The mouth says, the lips get smart”. Secretly, I tried the hot pepper and rubbed my mouth, being curious how it feels like. Boys, the smart pain was horrible. Better to have the thighs slippered than the mouth rubbed with pepper.
