Chapter 1

A ‘Burnie’ For Bernie:

The oak paneled dean’s office door opened, it made a formidable impression and a red -faced woman with lustrous long brown hair could be seen in an inner door with the Dean across his office. Penny in the office waiting area thought she saw him pat Bernadette briskly on the fanny seat of her tight blue jeans.

“Mom?” Penny calls out across the office, but there is no answer from the woman as she leaves California through an inner corridor.

New Mom For Penny:

Bernadette, took over the Drama of Penny’s somewhat coddling mother goes off on the Dean during the Drama Play at The California School. It all had happened when she was told, that Penny and Priya’s bad behavior merited expulsion, or at the very least the rarely used discipline measure of a paddling.

Earlier that afternoon Bernadette, aka, Penny’s Mother had been called to The California School for a meeting with the Domineering Dean. When the pretty mother in her early thirties arrived she was immediately escorted into the dean’s office and as she looked at the Dean across the massive desk, she feels like she is a high school girl in trouble herself.

Perhaps Bernadette’s style of dress had something to do with that feeling as well. The young mother with brown shoulder length hair was wearing some of the tightest, well worn blue jean shorts she owned and displayed an unladylike visible panty line. In fact the Dean could ascertain as he walked in and shut the door behind him were bikini style panties. Not very ladylike indeed, he thought. I wonder if the casual manner Penny’s Mom had dressed for a school conference mirrors the bad behavior and lack of judgment Penny had exhibited today.

The Dean offered Ms. Rostenkowski a seat in front of his desk and he went and sat behind his commanding desk in his tall leather chair. Bernadette sat down in the chair and listened. Dean: “Thank you for coming today.” Bernadette: “Your welcome is everything okay with Penny.” Dean: “She is safe, but she and Priya have been involved in bad behavior, detrimental to the safety of their fellow students.”

Bernadette: “What? Penny is the sweetest, kindest girl you could have in your school.”

Dean Leonard: “Ms. Rostenkowski, please stifle your childish outburst.”

“We are not here to discuss what you believe to be is your darling’s behavior.”

Leonard: “Please sit back and give me the courtesy of explaining why this may be Penny’s last day at California.” Bernadette sat up straight and listened intently to the brown-haired dean.

Dean: “I have just gotten off a ship to shore call with Priya’s Parents and now I will lay out the charges against Penny and Priya.”

Dean Leonard looked at Ms. Rostenkowski with a grave look, “Your daughter, Penny along with Priya chose to turn a routine paint-gun match into out of control sword swing, while running around the room endangering the girls in my care as well as my staff.”

The dean held up a stack of eyewitness reports, all of who agree with the paint-gun coach’s official report. Bernadette: Very excited and raising her voice like a mother protecting her cub.

“I know my daughter and there is no way she would be involved such a stunt.”

“You and these rich brats have had it in for Penny since she got here!,” Bernadette said as she jumped up went on the attack. Her behavior was not very ladylike.

“You’re just a frustrated white haired old man, who can’t deal with the free spirit of modern girls!” That is quite enough Ms. Rostenkowski, your parents warned me, after I considered accepting Penny into The California School Drama Play, that you could be disrespectful,” the Leonard angrily informed the woman out of control.

Bernadette pouted and sat back down heavily back in the chair. “Now, I will continue Priya’s Parents have agreed to corporal punishment to be administered by me. She will keep her SGA Office, however she will not remain editor of the newspaper after Priya receives her paddling,” the dean stated. Bernadette: “WHAT are you suggesting sir, paddling Penny!” Dean: “That will be up to you and your daughter to decide. Now let me finish.

“The recommendations to Cal will be rescinded and Penny can expect an immediate expulsion from California.” Bernadette: Looses her cool. “Paddle my Penny, You Son Of A Bitch, You rule your fiefdom with a fork stuck up your ass with your rules and regulations.

“You want to take this sweet innocent schoolgirl of eighteen and paddle her!”

“Ms. Rostenkowski your behavior is unacceptable; this conversation is over Ms. Rostenkowski.” The Dean said in a commanding voice.

You are so wrong I have watched with amazement the spirit, hard work and leadership Penny has exhibited while attending California!” That being said a sore, somewhat bruised paddle bottom sitting in class, sure beats not sitting at California at all.”

Suddenly Bernadette felt like a naughty schoolgirl herself sitting in the principal’s office. Putting her hands together in front of her face looks at the Dean and asks. “Okay, Penny has been rarely spanked and never with a wooden paddle like the one had I always was thought for decorative purposes.”

Dean: No, I am afraid not she would have to accept her paddling just like Priya’s Parents did aboard by proxy.

“Humph,” Bernadette expelled her breath. Considering now what before would be ludicrous.

Bernadette: “So you’re saying if I agree to let Penny be paddled, she can stay at California?”
