She has been placed with spanko parents who are given the duty of spanking her frequently when she is naughty, or for no reason at all.
   —Kessily

Sydney Marie had been in school for several weeks now. The classes were difficult, and she had to relearn a few skills as well. However, they weren't geared to be impossible. As long as the children worked hard and studied, they could pass their classes without too much trouble.

Sydney had always done well in school, but she had never had to study so hard her first time around. The astronomy class she had chosen as her elective was especially difficult. She enjoyed it immensely but the math was complicated and she often made mistakes by rushing to finish.

Just like all the rest of her classmates, Sydney was concerned about the upcoming report cards. She squirmed nervously in her hard wooden chair and waited for Mrs. Rose to pass out the sealed brown envelopes. Of course, the grades would be sent home directly to their parent's home computer terminals. There was no way a Penitatas could alter the grades that way.

The envelopes were simply an extra prop to give the pennies the feel of an old-fashioned report card day. It was effective and reinforced the naughty feelings, which made the whole day much worse for the children.

One by one the teacher called each child up to her desk. Solemnly, she handed them their report cards. They were to remain sealed until given to their parents, so even then the children didn't know how much trouble they were in. Sydney wasn't the only child who had trouble concentrating for the rest of the day.

She hadn't been at the school for the whole term of course, but nevertheless she had her own packet to take home. Her grades were based only on the time she had been there, and had been scaled generously to reflect her late arrival. Still, there was no way of knowing how they had come out.

She remembered each and every assignment that she had made mistakes on. Each rushed homework assignment, every time she had been unprepared for a quiz. By the end of the school day she was practically sick with worry. She picked up her belongings and trudged slowly out the door.

Now that she knew her neighborhood well, she was allowed to walk home from school. It was only a couple blocks, and there were crossing guards on the street to get her to the other side safely. The trip home took her longer then usual. She was not anxious to have the envelope opened and deliberately took her time walking.

She knew better then to dally for too long however. That was a sure way to earn a bare bottomed spanking. She reluctantly picked up the pace and made it home within her allowed time limit, just barely.

Normally only one of her mothers was home to greet her, and they took turns. Today was a special day for the family though. Her very first report card. To celebrate, both of her parents were waiting in the living room when she opened the door and came in. Cindy swept her up in a big hug and then passed her to Kay.

Kay held her daughter, smiling down at her while Cindy opened Sydney Marie's school backpack and looked through it. "Ah here it is!" Cindy said with relish. Sydney immediately began to squirm nervously.

"Worried sweetie?" Kay asked, grinning.

"Uh-huh," Sydney looked down. "I mostly tried but sometimes it's awfully hard," she added sadly.

"Well, let's see how you did then," Cindy said. They had both avoided looking at the grades on their home terminal. They preferred to be surprised and were much more anxious to see what was in the envelope then their young daughter was.

Cindy opened it without any further delay. She looked it over, making small 'hmm' noises, and then she handed it to Kay. Mommy Kay set Sydney Marie down so she could read the report. Sydney shifted from one foot to the other, waiting with a worried look on her tiny face.

"You did very well in most of your classes," Kay said finally. Sydney heaved a sigh of relief but it was too soon. "However, you only received a B- in astronomy!"

"Oh no!" Sydney said. Anything below an A was a spanking for sure!

"Oh no is right young lady. Just because the class is an elective doesn't mean it doesn't require your best effort," Cindy lectured.

"But I... I ..." Sydney's eyes filled with tears. She knew there was no chance of talking her way out of trouble. It was just one of the things that a Penitatas had to accept and deal with.

"You know the rules Sydney Marie. I'm afraid you've earned yourself a good hard spanking," Kay said. She shook her head at the sad penny. "Go and fetch the mother's helper paddle," she instructed.

Sydney's eyes widened. The paddle was much worse then a hand spanking. "No Mommy! No, please not the paddle!" Sydney begged.

"I'm counting," Kay announced and made a point of looking down at her watch. Sydney knew that Kay intended to add extra for every minute she delayed. She certainly didn't want to make it any worse, so she spun around and dashed from the room. In three minutes she had retrieved the paddle from her bedroom dresser where it rested, and brought it back to her mommies.

Cindy nodded approvingly, "That's much better Sydney Marie," she commented, accepting the wooden paddle. In the beginning Sydney had balked at fetching her own implement of correction. She had even hidden in the closet once instead of retrieving it and returning promptly. A very long afternoon of practice had cured her of that though! Now she hardly waited at all before she went to find the dreaded spanking tools.

"Thank you mommy Cindy," the little girl replied politely. Manners were another thing that she had learned to be careful of. Forgetting to say 'please' and 'thank you' often resulted in nasty punishments all on their own.

"You may give her the first spanking," Kay offered. "I prefer making sure she has a nice hot bottom when she gets tucked in at night."

"Thanks," Cindy said with a smile. She settled down on the couch and patted her knee pointedly. Sydney sniffled, lifted her school skirt, and began to lower her panties without being told. She threw herself across Cindy's lap, already sorry and wanting very much to get it over with.

Cindy chuckled, "Be careful there Sydney Marie. Don't hurt yourself. It's going to be a long afternoon," she said as she patted the little girl's bare bottom. She placed the helper paddle in the center of the girl's back, with a warning about what might happen if it should fall, and then she was ready to begin.

Kay took a seat in a lounger with a good view of the couch. She didn't want to miss one minute of the very first report card spanking. Even though she felt a bit sorry for the little girl, she was quite sure she was going to enjoy the show.

A few soft pats made Sydney jump before the real swatting began. "You are going to have to spend a lot more time studying little girl!" Cindy lectured as her hand came down over and over. The hand, which felt so soft tucking her in, now felt harder then amibrick or plasteel!

She tried hard not to kick or wiggle too much. She knew from experience that struggling too much would ensure the rest of her spanking proceeded on wet bottom. A fate to be avoided at all costs. She was totally aware of the paddle on her back, and every time it started to move she froze, but it was so hard to stay still while her plump little hind cheeks were being roasted.

"Young lady, a 'B-' is not acceptable and you know it. Just be very happy," Cindy paused in her oration and began aiming at the sensitive upper thigh area at this point. "Very happy you didn't get a 'C' it would be much worse I assure you!"

"Mommy no, mommyyyyyyy I'm sorryyyyyyyyy," Sydney bawled. Very contrite, very repentant, she swore to do much better. She promised anything to get the spanking to stop, but of course it was useless. Cindy spanked just as long and as hard as she had intended to. Five long minutes of sound swatting felt like eternity to the punished child.

And that was only the warm up. Sadly, Sydney Marie still had the Mother's helper paddle to look forward to.

"Mommyyyyy I'm sorrryyy! I'll study harderrrr I willll. Mommy stopp," Sydney begged over and over. The harsh hand spanking continued on though. The rules were, that naughty pennies got spanked extra hard for any naughtiness, and bad grades were definitely naughty!

"I'm sure you WILL try much harder young lady, but that's not going to save your naughty bottom now, is it?" Cindy demanded. She stepped up the pace; now the smacks were flying fast and furious and Sydney was practically screeching under the assault.

Finally the long spanking ended. Sydney wanted comfort, but it wasn't time for that. She was stood on her feet, and before she knew what was happening she was being spanked all the way to the corner, where she had to stand while she cried.

When Sydney had stopped crying, Kay brought in a hard topped wooden stool. It took Sydney's place in the corner, while the little girl was introduced to the next part of her punishment. "Up over the stool Sydney Marie," Cindy said. She had to help the girl; her short legs made it awkward for her to climb over a stool that was nearly as tall as she was.

But finally she was in place. Now, facing the corner, it was time for the mother's little helper paddle. Cindy pulled the paddle back and brought it forward with a loud POP, the reaction was immediate.

"MOMMMMYYYYYY Noooooo!! It hurtssss puuuhleaaazeeeee stoppp!" Sydney squealed desperately. She tried to kick her legs up to protect her bottom but found that it was impossible in her position. Nor could she reach her little hands back. She was in effect bare bottomed and completely helpless, just as a naughty little criminal should be!

Howling and pleading didn't help. Her mommy continued to give her a long hard paddling on top of her already sore bottom. Sydney couldn't do a thing about it. Perched precariously as she was, she was afraid to even squirm for fear she might fall off. There was no danger of that of course, but it sure felt like she could topple over at any minute.

"I'll study much harderrrrrrr Mommyyyyy," Sydney promised. Her bottom was now a vibrant shade of red. Small black and blue marks had begun to appear. If Sydney had been a Kindern rather then a Penitatas, it would have been considered abuse. But as a convicted criminal it was just exactly what she deserved.

Sydney wasn't able to keep track of the multitude of paddle whacks that she received. She only knew that when it was finally over, she found herself upright and SITTING on her very sore backside!

The stool was not padded and it was torture to stay still with the wood pressing into the tender, well-punished flesh. She whimpered and cried her way through an entire hour of corner time before she was allowed to get up. Even then her punishment wasn't over though.

Mommy Kay took over, and led her upstairs. She popped Sydney Marie into a nice warm tub of water. Normally a bath felt nice, but today it made her poor cheeks throb even more. She couldn't help but burst into tears again when she had to sit down in the tub so her mommy could get her washed up.

There were no toys in the bath today, and even if there had been Sydney probably wouldn't have felt like playing with them. She whimpered through most of the bath. Her mommy got her clean, and then washed her hair before lifting her out of the water. As usual a warm towel was waiting to be wrapped around her.

She was dried briskly and the soft towel didn't feel so soft when it was used to rub her sore bottom. "Ow, ow ow mommyyy," Sydney whined. She jumped around trying to avoid the roughness of the fluffy white towel.

"You settle down this instant Sydney Marie," Kay said sternly. Sydney recognized the no nonsense tone of voice and immediately stopped hopping from foot to foot. Soon, she had been dried off, and dressed in a long nightgown.

It was old-fashioned looking, with lots of frills and lace. Her mommies thought she looked adorable in it. Sydney of course, hated it with a passion, but there was nothing she could do about it. Kay took her daughter's hand and led her into the bedroom.

Cindy had thoughtfully placed a chair in the center of the room, and Kay smiled when she saw it. "Looks like Cindy has things all ready for us baby girl," she remarked to Sydney Marie as she took a seat in the chair.

Sydney Marie looked horrified. She hadn't realized that her bedtime was going to come so early in the afternoon! And with bedtime of course came the bedtime spanking. Barely an hour after her paddling, Sydney Marie was about to get another long hard spanking and then she was going to be put to bed with a sore bottom.

"B.b.but Mommy! It's not even dark yet," Sydney begged. Her large dark eyes were filled with panic.

"Sorry sweetie, little penitatas like you go to bed early when they've been naughty," Kay said firmly. She lifted Sydney Marie and placed the little girl across her lap. It was a simple matter to flip up the back of her long nightgown. The panties came down with a sharp tug, and then Sydney's bare red bottom was ready for more punishment.

"You will try much harder in school!" Kay announced as she began the spanking. Sydney didn't know if Kay's hand was harder, or if her bottom was simply tenderized, but her mommy's hand felt like Iron! She kicked, and cried, and howled, and thrashed, but it went on and on until finally Sydney didn't have the energy to do anything but sob limply.

She didn't even realize the spanking was over, until she was being lifted up and gently tucked in bed on her stomach. "Now you go right to sleep young lady," Mommy Kay said, as she pulled the covers up.

Since Sydney Marie's panties were still down, and her nightgown was still up, the cool sheets felt good against her throbbing bottom. It was a welcome relief from the hot, burning pain of her mommies' hands.

She was just barely awake when Kay leaned over and brushed some curls back from her face. She dropped a very light kiss on her daughter's forehead and then shut the lights off and left the room. Sydney drifted off into a sound sleep almost immediately even though her bottom still hurt terribly.

She was definitely going to study much harder from now on, she decided right before she fell asleep. No more 'B's' for her!
