It was Gabe's turn now. He was hoping he could talk his way out of it.
"Dad," he said, "I didn't do anything wrong"
"You were involved in this Gabe," Bob said firmly, "Now you have to be punished for your part. You know the drill."
Gabe sighed.
"Okay," he said.
He took off his pants. He got over his father's lap.
"This will be over quickly,' Bob said firmly delivering the eight slaps to his son's bottom. After that he hugged him and comforted him
"I love you Gabe," he said, "This was for your own good"
Gabe didn't return the hug but he said he loved Bob too.
"Okay," Bob said, "Now do me a favor and get your sister"
Teddy was the hardest for Bob. For one thing she had never been spanked before. She was never even punished before today. She and Bob had a close relationship. In some ways Teddy was his friend as well as his daughter. He sighed.
Teddy came in. She looked nervous.
