Uncle Winnie went by Icy’s house one day for something, only to find one of the granddaughters in some major hot water with her grandmother!

Debbie, his little niece, had met her match with Mamaw Icy! They had been equally awarded a good dose of stubbornness. They were butting heads that day and Debbie was in big trouble!  It’s long forgotten what she did wrong…  and doesn’t matter, really.  We all know that Debbie got her share of spankings from Mamaw Icy (…what grandchild didn’t?) and that’s why they loved each other so much!  This was just another one of those spankings.

Uncle Winnie decided he was going to try to distract Icy and save Debbie from the  punishment her grandmother was about to dish out to her.  He asked Icy about whatever it was he had stopped by for.

Icy responded to his matter, but said he would have to wait… she had a spanking to give out.  Now, mind you, Mamaw Icy knew Debbie about as well as her mamma and daddy!  And if she was going to spank her, she probably needed it.

Uncle Winnie didn’t give up… he persisted in asking her more questions, trying his best to turn her attention from the child.  Didn’t work.  Icy had a one-track mind and was determined to whip that child.

Uncle Winnie said, “But I need…..,” and Icy pushed up her sleeves and said, “…ok, but right now I’ve got to give this child a whippin’!

He tried every which way he could to distract Mamaw from spanking Debbie, to no avail.

Icy had set her mind on Debbie!  She just kept chasing her around, pushing up her sleeves and telling him that he had to wait until she spanked that child.

Debbie took her punishment like a true Wright.   But maybe that was because she was used to getting spanked.  She probably got swats more than anybody and that’s most likely why she turned out so good, thanks to Mamaw!

Mamaw Icy spanked them all when they needed it, but Debbie and all the rest of the grandchildren knew that she only did it because she loved them.  Like she would say, “I’m doing this for your own good!”

It appears that Debbie was behaving and Cheryl was the one who needed the spanking in this photo!  (They took turns!)

Mamaw would have walked through fire for any of them and they knew it and ‘love her still’ with a passion!
