Dorothy was running all over the house. Her mother was chasing after her. Apparently, she broke a vase. Dorothy broke it on purpose, and was fleeing from her mother, giggling. "Come back here!" she yelled.

"You'll never catch me, Mom!" giggled Dorothy.

"Stop, right now!" her mother demanded.

Dorothy did what she was told.

"Bend over, please," said her mother.

Dorothy bent over.

Her mother, took off her belt, and whipped Dorothy, for her misbehavior. Dorothy didn't cry.

Then, her mother, grabbed her by her arm, and put her in the corner for time out. "You be quiet, understand?"

"Okay," nodded Dorothy.

Her mother went into the kitchen to bake a blueberry pie. Dorothy would not be getting any.
