Towards the end of the day, of Hailey's punishments, she asked 'What do you want for your birthday?' It was four days before the day. Hailey could pretty much read my mind by now, saying 'Does it involve me getting a birthday spanking?' She asked, knowing it was rhetorical. I had found this old paddle in a box, in the attic, just days before. It seemed to be an omen. It was also signed by Snow Mercy, after I gave her a blistering with it, years ago. When she say it, she replied 'I was hoping it would be a hand spanking, to go out the door with'. She nodded and then realized; she would be getting lots of swats. 69 swats (including the extra)...It wasn't '67', but I am sure you will like this, even better!
