They try

Barbra had her hands on her hips staring at Sarah. Sarah started out with "I didn't think of it as stealing at the time." Barbra took on a stern expression while Chuck started to reach for his belt buckle and Sarah's heart skipped a beat. Sarah had given snarky answers before and had gotten her bare bottom torn up with the belt before she had to restart her explanation before being sentenced to her proper punishment. Sarah quickly blurted out "but now I see that's exactly what it was." Her heart sank. She knew she had admitted to an offense that would guarantee a spanking. But at least she had avoided extra discipline. Chuck took a deep breath and told Sarah "go get the hairbrush." Sarah knew the one. It was either on top of the refrigerator or in her mom's purse. Barbra kept it in her purse in case the girls, usually Sarah, needed a reminder before she really got it at home. Sarah sighed and went to go get it, looking at her feet to avoid the shame of looking her parents in the face. Barbra tapped Chuck's shoulder to protest, since she thought both girls would be getting the paddle. Chuck turned his head and glared at her. Barbra knew it was time to drop the issue.

Shelly knew it was her turn. She couldn't stand what she knew she was getting. She froze. Her father started with the lecture. "You know you aren't supposed to be kissing boys. On top of that, it was your sister's boyfriend. On top of that, you lied to your sister." Shelly nodded in agreement and tears were visible on her cheeks. Shelly finally spoke "I know I was wrong. I'm sorry I disappointed you. Am I getting the hairbrush too?" Chuck was satisfied with this answer, mostly. "No young lady. You need to march yourself over to your closet and the paddle. You have been well behaved and hadn't needed the paddle in a while but today you are really going to get your bottom blistered." Shelly started to cry in earnest as she shuffled to the closet and reached up to get the paddle down from the top shelf.

Sarah was returning from getting the hairbrush from her mother's purse as she saw her sister getting the paddle down. Sarah was much more familiar with the paddle. In the past few months, she was getting it more often than ever and her sister hadn't been paddled since November. Part of Sarah was happy to see the paddle wasn't only for her bottom but was always scared when the paddle left the closet, even if her sister totally deserved it for kissing James, her boyfriend.

Chuck pointed to the corner while looking at Sarah. Sarah knew she was meant to go to the corner. Chuck extended his hand to Shelly as she handed him the paddle. "Ok girls, take your pants and panties off" Chuck ordered. Sarah was wearing shorts, and seamless panties that quickly came down and found their way into the corner. She was completely naked from the waist down, while wearing a T-shirt and bra. Shelly undid her belt, dropped her jeans and panties, leaving her in her socks and polo shirt.
