It is early afternoon and Frank is heading for the Village Green to enjoy the Brass Band concert. He would like to be wearing a Tee shirt and jeans but he is in his school uniform. That would be OK even though all the others would be more casually dressed if his trousers were longs. He, however, is in short trousers and knee socks because he is being disciplined by his father for slacking off at school.© Y Lee Coyote
However, he has an unwelcome, uninvited, tagalong companion whom he does not know. Ted, an eleven-year-old brat extraordinaire, is in his comprehensive school uniform with long trousers and also heading for the concert. He is formally dressed because his family is going to a fancy restaurant after the concert.
Ted has a metaphorically big mouth and he is using it to torment Frank with silly comments about his juvenile outfit such as “shortie boy”, “girlie hot pants” and “lost your big-boy pants?” Frank is using all his will power to keep from justly strangling the brat to make the world a better place for he fears, correctly, the consequences of that when the Court does not agree it was a justified act.
Unbeknown to the two lads, was that they were being followed by Mr. Ashbridge and his wife who tsked at such rude behaviour. That would have been the end of it except that Mr. Ashbridge recognized the boy as he was a business acquaintance of his father. The couple paused at a phonebox to call Ted’s father and report his misconduct. They were politly thanked greatly.

It was a while later that Ted’s parents and kid sister showed up for the concert. They connected with Ted and his dad grilled him about his taunting. Soon the boy confessed and realized that he was going to be punished but he hadn’t any idea that it would be a Mikado inspired one and in addition to a spanking.
Dad saw an older boy in short trousers and asked Ted if that was the one. Ted nodded and was ordered, with detailed instruction, to nicely invite him to witness his spanking punishment. “Excuse me, sir. My father said to ask you: ‘Would you like to witness my punishment for my outrageous rudeness earlier today?’”
“Bloody hell, yeah! When? Where?” replied a very pleasantly surprised Frank.
“Now and over there.” replied Ted beginning to realize how awful things were. The group moved to the far side of the Green where there were some benches.
Dad lectured his son with both his sister and Frank listening. Then he was required to lose his trousers and shoes (for safety reasons as he was a kicker) and get over his father’s lap. Once there, dad yanked his boxers down exposing his arse.
The first SLAP of one-hand clapping attracted a flock of amused observers who watched Ted’s bared bum turn pink, then rosy and finally crimson. Ted was crying by this time. One could hear a couple of parents saying “That’s what happens to naughty boys so you better behave yourself, lad.”
After Ted had stopped crying while being hugged, his dad wiped his face and invited Frank to help with redressing Ted.
“I would be most delighted, sir.” he replied and took the offered garments. Then told the mortified lad to lift each foot as he first replaced the low socks with knee highs, the boxers with Y-fronts and finally his Junior school short trousers all of which his dad had brought from home.
“As my aunt would say ‘Ted, you look very smart.’” said Frank with a big grin knowing that Ted’s classmates would surely tease him constantly. His sister waas doing her best to suppress her giggles.
It was only then that Ted realized that he was in short trousers just like Frank and had been dressed as if he was a baby. “What is this? Where are my trousers?”
Dad responded “You’ll be in short trousers for a week, boy. Longer if you don’t learn to be polite. Now thank Frank for his compliment and helping you dress and apologize for your rudeness earlier.” Ted’s words are not worth reporting.
Frank enjoyed the concert a lot more than he had expected just an hour earlier. Ted did not appreciate his sister saying how bright red his bum was and that he looked ever so smart in his short trousers. And he was terribly worried about the teasing and worse from his classmates.
