Im sorry Sir. I didn't mean to be late to study group but I had so many books and things I had to grab from my locker and I didn't think it'd take this long but I also didn't want to show up unprepared. Please Sir, cant we find a different punishment this time? I don't think my bottom could handle any paddling from you today. I have cheearleading practice tomorrow and I cant be having you bruise my butt. So please can we work something else out?... 30 swats each cheek by me sounds fair I guess.
