12 swats with a paddle for putting a laxative in a teachers drink Revenge looked sweet when Yumi Bennett put laxative in a teachers tea at Private School. But the penalty of a paddling from Mr Friday looks a lot less amusing! Twelve swats with the board of education, six on panties, six bare bottom, turns her bouncing cheeks red. Thats a prank she wont pull again. “The paddle burns!” she said.
