Affection gone awry

In our house, Ava gets spanked a lot. Of course spanking involves rapid soft pats on the tush, and is a sign of affection, not punishment. I don't know how it came to be, but we all do this. It's such a habit that we've had to deliver numerous lectures on why spanking mom in Meijers isn't appropriate.
On Saturday, at the end of some trivial, playful arguement, I grabbed Ava, put her across my lap and started "spanking." I told her that since she was so naughty, I was going to spank her all day. Her response?
"I LOVE IT!!"
I have done wrong.

Love it! When I ask my kids how many spankings they want, they generally reply, "Ten!"
