Hello lovely people. Hope you are all well.
Punishment normally comes about when one does wrong and in adulthood punishment is different from when you are young. In childhood, parents are the ones that take on the role of punishing and it is in various forms like beating the child, denying them certain pleasures like playing or watching TV. In African homes, the most common form of punishment is beating with literally anything like a slipper, stick, belt etc.
Truthfully, I do not remember what had happened as I do not recall what we had done wrong. We were young about 4 years and we were sitted in the chair, my cousin brother and I. My uncle came back late and was tired and I think the information of what we had done was relayed to him. He got his belt and beat us and he was not targeting any particular place like the butt, he was literally just beating us anywhere the belt could land.
We covered our faces to protect them as it was raining belt beatings😂. We cried, I do not remember for how long but I know we cried a lot. My auntie comforted us and I think we cried ourselves to sleep as we were done with supper. Truthfully that is the only time I remember ever being beaten with the belt and it is engrained in my memory cause that beating was thorough. Whatever we did, it must have been really bad.

Why were you beaten with a belt? I want to know. And your story was very nice. As a child, I was beaten many times with a belt. Thanks for participating in the contest.
