No Idle Treat
My father was a navy pilot and we were living in Florida in the early 1960s. My four-year-old brother had a habit of walking my father threatened him with a spanking unless he stopped. The Cuban missile crisis occurred shortly after this and my father was put on loert. In the middle of the night., an officer called our home to tell my father to report.
“Daddy will spank me!” he said and hung up.The officer tried a second time, but with the same result. On the third try the officer quickly said,” I’ll spank you if you don’t wake your Daddy!” My brother obeyed.
左右为难
在20世纪60年代初，我们住在佛罗里达时，我父亲是个空军驾驶员。我四岁的弟弟有个习惯，他每天早上都要叫醒我的父母。终于，我父亲吓唬了他一次，说如果他再继续这么做，父亲就要揍他的屁股。
不久，古巴就发生了导弹危机。我父亲他们要时刻处于战备状态。一天半夜一位长官打来电话，让我父亲迅速归队。
‘爸爸该打我屁股了。“我弟弟说完就把电话挂了。那位长官又打来第二次，他得到了同样的结果。当那位长官第三次打来电话时，他还没等我弟弟说话，就马上说：”如果你不叫醒你爸爸，我就该揍你屁股了。’我弟弟只好服从了他。
