Quite a few people have bent me over their knee, but a preacher has never spanked me. Spanking is sexual abuse for some children and some mother's and father's are. My son is 14 and I have to occasionally give him a spanking. When I used to fill her prescription at the drugstore, the pharmacist would walk over and ask me to shut my eyes. Like being over my knee I went stiff from the memory of many spankings from long ago.
