Without letting go of her, he reached for what he had put on the dresser that morning, before he had gone to Trace's house to pick Sara up. He held it up in front of his new little girl.
"Do you see this, Sara? This is your paddle." It was made of pink leather, three thicknesses stitched around its oval edge.
"Oh, Daddy, no," she pleaded.
"This is for when you are bad, and you are going to get it right now."
I loved writing this book with Abbie Adams!
I have a feeling even pretty pink paddles hurt! Lovely snippet Emily :)
ReplyDeleteOnly when she's bad? What does she get when she's good? ;) Very tempting snippet, Em.
ReplyDeleteOoooo a pink paddle. Very cute. Again hoping I can start this sometime this week
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling her bottom is going to match the color of the paddle. Nice snippet!
ReplyDeleteLovely snippet, Emily :) Can't wait to read this one. You could have given us a hint as to what bad thing she did :D
