Time For a Whoopin'

Abby, Hannah, and their cousin Jocie were hiding and refusing to come out.

"Abby! Hannah! Time to go home!"
"NOOO!" they shouted.
"Come out now, or Daddy's gonna give you a whoopin'!" I joked.
I could hear Abby say, "Come on, come on, Daddy's gonna give us a whoopin'!"
I was surprised that it had actually worked. When they were finally out, they ran to Mike yelling, "We want our whoopin'! Where's our whoopin'? (Pause.) What's a whoopin'?"
It was then that we realized they thought a whoopin' was a treat and that's why they had come out - to get their prize.

The next day, we were rifling through Abby's Easter basket for some candy. "Do you want a Whopper?" I asked.
"No, don't spank me!!" she cried.
