I deserved my spankings. I'd intentionally mess with my parents or other kids to see how far I could go before I got whipped. Once I shredded all of my dads underwear with a pair of scissors and put them back into the drawer all neat. He wasn't too happy about that. Why would I do that you say? As a joke.
