Evelyn's Biography (part 4/9)

Part 4/9

When talking about discipline Evelyn tells us that she was a “sensible kid.” She didn’t remember getting into any sort of trouble.

I can remember getting a spanking when I was little, when I was younger than four, because I dropped the flashlight down the outhouse toilet bowl, and I wasn’t supposed to take the flashlight out in the first place. Any child wants to look down the hole, to find out what it looks down there. I remember getting put to bed after that. As a teenager [however there was never a need for punishment].
