Herb was visiting his niece Meg when the phone rings.  There was a little accident at the grocery store where Margaret's Dad works, a wooden pickle barrel split open.  The pickles and juice went everywhere.  Pat asked if we could bring him a change of clothes.  Once there, Pat was happy to see us.  Smelling like a pickle is not fun.  While Pat went to clean up and change, Meg and I looked around the store.  Most of the clean-up was done.  About the only thing left would be a nice rinsing of the floor, but that would have to wait until the store closed.

Herb was reading the label on the double fiber bread when Meg asked if she could look at the lobster tank.  He said OK, so off she went…

While looking at all those poor lobsters with rubber bands on their claws, Meg had an idea to free them.  Seeing the lobsters bound made Meg's tummy get all funny feeling, she didn't understand why.  Maybe if she got a few rubber bands she could try to put them on her dolls when she got home.

Getting the first two bands off was hard but then the next three were easy.  Meg enjoyed watching the lobsters swim free. They all looked soooooo happy.

As she reached in to get the next lobster she didn't notice the claw getting ready to clamp down on her wrist.  As she screamed and pulled her hand from the tank, the lobster bit harder. Before Uncle Herb could help her, down went the little girl and the tank full of freed lobsters!

Oh My God!  Not knowing what to deal with first, Herb lifted a screaming Meg from the floor. Freeing the lobsters grip and sitting Meg on the counter. Herb went about putting the tank back together.

After the clean up was done, Herb looked over at Meg who screamed, "IT WASN'T MY FAULT!"

"Margaret what on earth do you think you're doing day dreaming again?"  Uncle Herb grabbed his niece by the arm and took her inside.  Looking around, Herb places Meg over Dad's chopping block, lifting her skirt and lowering her white cotton panties all in one swift motion.

"Now you are going to get it young lady!"  Picking up a hardwood fillet board that resembles a long paddle, Herb swats Meg's bottom until its beet red lecturing her on why lobsters wear rubbers.  With each swat, Meg begs and cries that she will be good and never do it again.  Herb knows this is true, but continues the spanking.

"I'm going to tenderize your bottom so you cant sit for a week young lady!"

After the spanking, Herb opens his arms and hugs his niece.

As they exit the store, Herb hands Meg a pack of Swedish fish and says,  "Well, the floor got a good rinsing, didn't it?"
