And Broken Promises, Page 30
I loved my
father on his good days, but sometimes this was overshadowed by
an unpredictable temper. He would pull his belt from his trousers
and snap it through the air like a whip. As I lay hiding under
the bed, I heard him shouting, `Ready, ready red legs,` before he
pulled me out and whipped me across the back of my thighs.

Mum put a silver lock
on our phone to stop us making calls, but Max (brother) showed me
how to hit the handset cradle button the same number of times as
each digit to dial a number. She couldn`t understand why our
telephone bills were so high until she came home and caught me in
the middle of `tapping`.
We were dragged into
the sitting room and punished with her flip-flop, which was less
painful than the wooden spoon.
