The Picnic

Barely asleep, Scott woke up with a start!

"Sam? What is it?"

"You said you weren't angry if I came in your room at night."

"I'm not angry, what's going on with you?"

"It's the storm, I'm afraid! Can I sleep with you? Please Scott?"

Pushing himself over to make room in the bed for her he pulls the bedcovers up saying,

"Come on, just for tonight!"

"Do you know what my father said when I was afraid of the storm?" Sam asks as she crawls in beside him.

"No, what did he say?"

"It's just God moving his furniture! You don't have to be afraid."

Sam laughed! "Yes! That is a very good explanation."

"Thanks Scott!"

She snuggled against his chest and he heard her whisper:

"God, please, between two pieces of furniture, make Scott keep me! Amen"

Smiling, he drew her to his chest hugging her.

The last week of vacation had passed quickly!

Sunday was already here, Scott and the kids were going to church followed by a late summer picnic.

Scott insisted that Samantha go, in order to meet the children of the school and the teacher. It will be fun, but Sam was sulking.

Scott had left Johnny, delighted, up in front with him and Sam standing behind in the wagon bed.

"Sam, stop this behavior, do you hear me?!"

With no response from her, Scott stopped the wagon on the side of the road.

"Do you want a spanking? Here and now. Is this what are you looking for? Because that's what will happen if you continue your behavior! It's disrespectful! Answer me, Samantha!"

Still no answer, and she rolled her eyes!, Defying Scott.

"Well, your choice." Scott passed the reins to Johnny, got out, grabbed Sam, lifted her under the armpits and put her on the ground in front of him.

"No Scott! Okay, I'm going to stop..."

"Too late!"

Scott put his foot on the wheel, laying the little girl on his knee, he lifted her dress. He delivered three good hard spanks with his hand, on the small panty covered behind.

He raised Sam, pulling the little girl's chin with his finger so she could look at him.

"Look at me, I expect better behavior for the rest of the day! You stop the defiance and stop sulking! You will answer me respectfully when I speak to you! Am I understood or do you need mire wallops?"

"Yes sir! I understand!" She answers, sobbing.

"Well, if you still need another spanking today, I have no problem administering it to you, but the next one will be bare! Am I clear?"

"Yes sir! I will be good! I don't want another spanking!"

"Okay, get on the wagon!" Scott hit the road.

Then he felt small arms hug him tightly around the neck.

"I beg your pardon, Scott! I love you!"

"Apology accepted! I love you too!" He said.

"Hello Mrs. Bray! Thank you for your choice of clothes, they are perfect!"

"Hello Scott! And here is your Samantha! Nice to meet you little girl!"

"You too, Ma'am. Thank you for the clothes. Scott, Sheriff Val is not here?"

"No, he had some work. This is the teacher, Miss. Sims. Hello, Miss Sims, this is Samantha. She looks forward to coming to class tomorrow."

"Hello, Mr. Lancer. Samantha, nice to meet you."

"Hello Miss Sims." she said shyly.

"Hello Reverend!"

"Hello Scott, Johnny, ... and who is this pretty little girl?"

"This is Samantha, we are kerping her at the ranch for awhile."

"Good, hello Samantha, welcome to my congregation!"

"Hello, thank you Reverend."

Scott introduced Sam so everyone would know he was responsible for her.

The service was long and boring.

Sam had a hard time sitting still, which caused her to earn a stern look from Scott.

The picnic was fun, everyone had brought something for the meal.

Scott had taken ham and made two pies with Sam's help.

"Sam, you may go play. Remember what I told you in the wagon and stay in sight."

"Yes sir".

"John, I am making an exception to your punishment today. You don't have to stay alone all day, you can go play, but you also stay in sight."

"Really? Thanks Scott!" said John.

"No stupidity young man! Do not make me regret my indulgence! Should I tell you what I will do on your backside if you don't behave? "asked Scott severely.

"No sir, I know. You won't need to punish me, I promise you."

"I'm going to hold you to that promise. Alright, go play!" he said, giving him a little love swat to send him on his way.

Scott was happy to chat with other men, especially Brian, his best friend.

Johnny came running;

"Two people are missing on the team to play to baseball. Will you come?"

Scott considers his best friend Brian, "Like the good old days!"

"It's going to be fun!" said Brian.

Scott took the bat and hit the ball with extraordinary power. His three homeruns helped his team be the winning team!

"I knew you were the strongest brother in the world!" Said John throwing himself into his brother's arms!

"Did you doubt it?" Scott teased, raising an eyebrow.

Suddenly, a lady arrived, pulling Sam by the arm.

"Hello ma'am, what's going on?" Asks Scott.

"Sir, this little girl says she belongs to you"

"It's true, what did she do?"

"She fought with my daughter Jenny! She deserves a good hard spanking! Are you going to deliver one?"

Scott looked her in the eyes, angrily,

"I'm not going to talk to you about how I discipline my daughter! It is up to me alone to make a decision!"

The offended lady left and Scott turned his full attention to Sam.

She was crying hard.

"Come with me, let's find a quiet place to chat." He said softly but firmly.

He sat in the back of the wwagon and placed the little girl in front of him.

"Why are you crying so much? Do you think you deserve a spanking?"

"No sir, you said ..."

"What did I say?"

"You told the lady that I was ...' Your daughter'!" She says sobbing, throwing herself in his arms!

"You are right, while you live with me, I am responsible, so I have the role of a father for you."

"Are you going to spank me? You told me that if I started again today, you would drop my panties! Please, Scott, don't do that!"

"I also said it depended on me! Tell me what happened."

"I was playing quietly and Jenny arrived, she told me to leave, that it was her tree!"

I said "No, the trees belong to everyone!"

Then she called me a bastard so I jumped on her! What is a bastard, Scott?"

"It's a bad word to designate a child who has no parents. I think it's not you who deserves a good spanking, but Jenny!"

"Aren't you going to punish me?"

"No, not this time, you can relax, but instead of fighting, you should come to tell me! You have to control your mood and not fight anymore, if you lose control, find yourself an adult to tell. This is a warning, if you fight anymore, you will be punished! It's clear?"

"Yes sir!" And she threw herself into his arms!

"Alright Sam, go back and play!"

Scott rejoins his friend.

"Are you okay Scott? Didyou punished her? Is that why you're acting so weird?"

"You know me well Brian! No, I didn't punish her. It is the other child who must be punished, that's what torments me. Excuse me for a minute."

Scott approaches Jenny's mom.

"Ah sir, have you at least disciplined your daughter?" Scott struggled to stay calm, breathing gently.

"No madam, I didn't spank her since that's what you seem to suggest! Did you speak to Jenny?"

"Yes, she told me that your daughter jumped on her!"

"Did she tell you why Sam jumped on her?"

"No"

"Bring her here, please."

"Jenny honey, excuse me for bothering you, can you come here please? Jenny? Jenny honey?"

Scott was so shocked by this child who did not listen to his mother, he just reacted.

"Jenny! You obey your mom and you come here right away! I don't have all day!" He shouted.

His tone of voice immediately caught the attention of Sam and Johnny, both worried about their backsides before realizing he was talking to another child not either of them.

Jenny appeared before him quickly causing her mom to be speechless!

"I want you to tell your mother what you said to Sam so that she would get angry."

"I said it was my tree, let it go! I tokkd her she was a bastard! And I think it is so!"

"Jenny!"Said her mom. "That's cruel!"

"Look at me!" Said Scott firmly, causing the girl to look up.

"Your mom will punish you this time, and you will obey her from now on! If you disobey me, if I hear you speak disrespectfully to anyone, children or adults, I will lift your dress and lower your bloomers to give you a good spanking with my hand or my belt! It is a promise!"

"Yes sir!"

"Also, you WILL apologize to Sam!"

"Sam!" he called, "Come here!"

The next minute, Sam stood before him.

"Jenny has something to say to you." Scott says with a firm look at the other child.

"I'm sorry Sam, I shouldn't have said that about you being a...umm what I called you!" Jenny says stopping herself from saying the ugly term after Scott gave a shake of his head.

"Apology accepted!" Said Sam "I'm sorry I hit you too" She looked at Scott to see his reaction, he nodded.

"Okay, go play!" Scott ordered.

"Madam, I hope I can trust you to punish her properly. You sitting on a chair, the child bare bottom it is important. She should be over your knees, spanked firmly, your palm should be enough. Her feeling shame is more important than strength of you prefer, you can use a wooden spoon or a hairbrush. Discipline her and you will gain respect and obedience, I promise you! You saw the way Sam came immediately when I summoned. Compare that to your child."

"You can count on me! Thank you Mr. Lancer for helping me with my authority, and I trust you to discipline Jenny if necessary!"

"Good to know, but to be frank, I do not hope to do the job, and my belt was mainly a way to impress her. If you do, you will have no problem! You decide."

Scott spent the rest of the day playing chase with Sam and Johnny. Letting them be the pursuers, taking them on his shoulders tickling them, the kids laughed and had a wonderful day!
