"Sure, sweetie."

The drive home was fairly uneventful - her siblings didn't torment her this time round, possibly having decided that she'd had enough. Or maybe just worried about their own futures, should they get in trouble on church night.

So, once they were in, it was a matter of brushing teeth and getting ready for bed.

"Okay," her mother said, hugging her close and tight, "what's up?"

"I'm sorry for everything from being lazy to not being able to control my body" Megan said hugging her mom tight "how about I do the cleaning" she added

"It's okay, dear - you are forgiven. If doing the cleaning over the weekend will help you feel better about it, then certainly.

But what I said earlier still stands: if Veronica visits, then I'm giving her lessons in spanking you. Other than that though, you're both allowed to do as you wish - if you want to go out shopping... well, you'll be naked still, but that's up to you. Maybe the stores will give a discount."

Megan smiled at the last part she did want to buy her mom something that she could use

"Okay, good night sweetie."

She kissed Megan's forehead, and wandered out, about the same time as Rachel wandered in, wearing just a short nightshirt. A mattress and sleeping bag were set up on the floor, and she settled in.

"G'night."

"good night mom,Rachel" Megan said and closed her eyes

The next morning, Rachel yawned, stretched, and headed to the door.

"Morning Megan" she said, sleepily - not even sure if her cousin was awake. And with that, she headed downstairs for breakfast.

Megan woke up and followed Rachel downstairs

Everyone was awake, it seemed, and eating breakfast. However, one troubling thing was that her mother had gathered a hand full of switches, and was binding them together.

"Go ahead and have breakfast, Megan. But your father told me about last night, so after your breakfast, you have a birching coming. And after that, it's a visit next door to thank the neighbours for providing the nettles we used yesterday.

Megan nodded not wanting to argue, and alow Rachel to come clean
