Naughty boy in striped pyjamas humiliated before an early bedtime.

Philip Treadwell stood with his hands on his head alongside the clothes airer, thereon draped with his striped, winceyette pyjamas. His bottom bore the bright red glow of his over the knee slippering administered not five minutes earlier by Mrs Alexander. "Keep those hands on your head unless you want to go back across my knee." Mrs Alexander threatened as he went to soothe his sore bottom. Philip stood uncomfortably for another ten minutes as the three women chatted and drank their tea. "Right, come here and let's get you into your pyjamas and off to beddy-byes, it's already after six o'clock and past your bedtime," Mrs Treadwell urged. Philip stood facing the three women, shamefully parading his nakedness as Mrs Treadwell slipped his arms into the red striped pyjama top and, starting from the bottom, slowly buttoned him into the jacket.
Miss Alexander stared at him, "you really are a naughty little boy," she giggled, emphasising the "little, no wonder you are being put to bed early." Mrs Treadwell knelt on the floor and held the bottoms open for him to step into. He put his left foot in first and rested his hand on her shoulder to steady himself as he put his right foot into the pyjama bottoms. Mrs Treadwell pulled the bottoms up and tightly tied the pyjama cord trapping the hem of his pyjama jacket inside the bottoms. "There, all ready for beddy-byes, slippers on." She placed his bunny slippers beside him and watched as he shuffled his feet into the fuzzy, pale blue slippers. "Say night-night," she urged taking his hand. Philip blushed but did as he was told. "Night -night Nana, night- night Aunty," he whispered pathetically, standing in front of them in his striped winceyette pyjamas and blue fuzzy slippers. "Off we go, up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire." She led him to the foot of the stairs and paused. "Wave night-night Philip." She lifted his arm and waved it for him. The two women sitting on the sofa waved back, mimicking his arm movements, then laughed out loud. His mother-in-law and sister-in-law always enjoyed watching Philip's wife put him to bed.
