When I was about 8, I stayed the summer with my maternal grandma. She believed in chores. I was okay with cleaning the kitchen, but panicked when I was told I would have to clean the tub. There were multiple people using one bathroom. I could not handle it. I quickly lied and told her I was allergic to Comet, so I could not clean the tub. The entire summer, I was scared that she would find out I had lied. I kept thinking about the ass whippings my mom and her siblings said she would hand out when they were growing up. I did not want to have any ass whipping stories of my own.
