Sarah is a guest in Matlida and Miss Iceni's home as an exchange student during the time she stays in England. The two girls are told that it is their bedtime and they need to go to sleep... but instead, they are joking around and starting a pillow fight having lots of fun. Mommy is very upset and comes raging in telling them that they have broken the rules. They both brat her incessantly and that just makes matters worse. Matilda knows that in this house, the only way to teach her a lesson is with a well-smacked bottom, and Sarah learns this peculiar English custom the hard way. They are each given bare-bottom spankings with Mommy's hard, mean hand before she finishes off using a stinging hairbrush that has both young madams yelping out loud. Only then are they properly put to bed with sore red bottoms.
