Gizelle Blanco married a man who happens to be the step-father of Maddy Marks. Even though Gizelle is younger than Maddy, she is now her Step-mother. Gizelle is very old-fashioned and insists that Maddy dress more appropriately, behave better, and that she call Gizelle step-mommy. Gizelle backs this up by giving Maddy something she has deserved for quite some time - a sound spanking over her knee. She brings home the painful lesson with a wooden bath brush that leaves Maddy reformed, and very sore, rubbing her red bottom and sitting painfully for days.
