Does your Mother punish you when you get caught playing with your birdie?
If my Mother or Sister catches me abusing my bird then I get punished. My Sister lied to Mother and said she saw me abusing my bird. Mother believed her and I’m not allowed to talk back to her or dispute what she says, so I got punished.
Mother gave the belt to my Sister and told her to punish me. I got put over her knee and spanked until I begged. My bird was so hard when I stood up and my Sister laughed. Then I had to stand there until it finally went soft. She locked it up in the bird cage and sent me to bed.
