innocent mistake

forgive

Sam- so we will go one by one
Minni go to corner raise your hands ND wait , Sherry stand in front of Carter
ND Carter you have cane already hit as many times as you think he deserves it's all upto how many ND where to hit

Carter - this is different but I can feel all my anger that I was keeping inside me for better finally taking control
How can he do something like this. I raised him for better, I am there for them always whatever situation is and this is how they think ND go behind my back stealing. They could have asked for help I will help them in any situation how bad they mess up but surely I will correct them

Right now I can see sherry standing in front of me scared, red eyes, confused
I know I can do this even if it breaks me to inflict physical pain on my kids they will learn to make right choices

Carter- stand straight don't move till I say
I look towards Sam he nods me to go ahead
I hit Sherry on calves with cane

Crack crack

He flinches in pain ND lift his leg to relive some pain

Sam - didn't you hear him Stay still
Sherry- yes sir sorry
Sherry to self- it's hurts stings like anything, my muscles are already sore from lunges ND all workout, but I know i deserve this, please tears not now .

Carter- I hear a sob but that's not from Sherry but minni, I know my trouble makers are scared. I should do this fast it's difficult for me to see them like this

I swing cane again hitting his biceps ND upper arm 2 times each

Crack crack crack crack

ND again 2 each on his calves

Crack crack crack crack

Keeping cane on side table I look at Sherry who is now sobbing ND shaking , I put my hand on his shoulders ND he flinches please Carter I'm so...sorry
please. It breaks my heart I hug him ND try to sooth his crying saying i know buddy I know it's okay
Sherry- to sam
Si...sir please I'm sorry won't ever happen again Sam hugs and say I know buddy I know calm down
Go stand in corner

Minni come, she comes already crying ND stand in front of Carter
Sherry moves to corner ND raise his hands this make me smile a bit even if I didn't asked him to he knows better

Carter- stand straight don't move till I say, ND I gave her same as Sherry but I know with some more strength than him
I am more angry on her as she could have stopped Sherry instead of supporting him or could have told me directly but no crime partners always.
Plus whole week she had this smart mouth rebellious attitude which I know is result of her guilt but still is unacceptable.

Sam- I can see the force Carter was hitting minni with definitely gonna welt soon but that's okay I won't stop him till I think he is over punishing her which I'm sure won't happen, when Carter stops ND place cane on side table minni feel on her knees saying I'm sorry please I'm sorry I won't do it again please I'm sorry Carter holds her upper arm ND pulls her up saying it's okayy he tell her to calm down than she turns to me ND hugs me tightly sobbing apologies.

It's okay kid calm down even your breaths

After few seconds I point towards corner ND she follows

I decide to give them few minutes to calm down

Me ND Carter leaves the room ND move to kitchen
Handing him glass of water I ask him you okay budy
Carter- yes sa... Sir
I smile knowing he still like to call me by my name than sir like before

After few minutes
Sam- you know it was wrong of your part to actually stop talking to them than correcting their mistakes

Carter- yes sir I know, but I was confused ND disappointed and I don't want to do anything out of anger, correcting them for every mistake ND teaching them right thing no one can do this better than you.
Sam- you need to learn too I won't be there always .
Sam to self - I can see how his expression changed
