>Be a colt
>Cutie mark age but not yet teenage
>You know...obnoxious preteen phase
One day...
>Class trip to Manehattan
>So much cool stuff to see and do
>But dumb teachers make you go to the art museum
>Can't even slip away and ditch because Mom is a volunteer chaperone on this field trip
>So bored

>Boredom manifests as brattiness
>Stomping your hooves
>Yawning loudly, rudely
And finally...
>You bump a priceless pre-Celestian statue
>It wobbles
>Uh-ho...might have taken this brat thing a little too far
>The statue topples
>Security and curators dash to the rescue
>A long slapstick sequence occurs
>The stone bust bounces from pony to pony
>Other objects are imperiled; vases, paintings, ancient gold
>But everything is saved
>The statue is caught atop a pile of exhausted museum staff
>Then, just as every pony sighed relief;
>A medieval tapestry rips from its mountings on the wall, blanketing them
>Jeeze, it's almost like this was a cartoon or something, am I right?

>Colt you knows he's in ultimate trouble now
>Mom snatches you up
>Carries you, crying and begging, to the center atrium of the museum
>The echo is tremendous
>Oh no...not here, not here in front of every pony!
>Mom puts you across her lap
>Produces the manebrush from her saddlebag
>You gulp
>That thing is huge
>Why does any mare need a manebrush that big?
>The smaller ones are just as good at brushing hair.
>The brush maker must be a cruel sadist

>But Mom does not immediately begin spanking you
>She sets the brush right where you can see it
>You can hear her writing on a sign with a squeaky marker
>She can see you are curious, so she shows you when she is done
THIS NAUGHTY COLT WAS DISRESPECTFUL TO MUSEUM STAFF AND NEARLY DAMAGED PRICELESS EXIBITS
HE IS NOW RAISING MONEY FOR THE MUSEUM
>You gulp nervously
>how?

>Mom flips your ball cap off and sets it open side up, on the ground
>And proceeds to PADDLE YOUR POOR HEINIE BRIGHT RED

continued... 

>You are there for a while
>It's not constant spanking
>Mom lectures for a minute, then whacks you some more
>Then more lecturing
>The noise echoes through the whole museum
>This is easily the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you this week
>You can't help but bawl like a blank-flank
>Mom's brush is brutal and your poor defenseless rear is on fire

>Ponies approvingly drop a few bits in your ball cap
>Mom stops
>Makes you thank them
>You can hardly speak through the tears, sobs and runny nose
>Then it's right back to the spankin'

>A few artsy looking unicorns spend a long time watching
>They whisper between themselves and sip chardonnay
>Are they perverts who enjoy watching you get your narrow coltie rear busted?
>No...they're art critics
>They think you're a performance art installation

>At last, after 15 minutes of spanking, lecturing and soul mangling humiliation, Mom lets you up
>The art unicorns applaud
"Will you be performing at tonight's Gallery Gala?"
>Equestria has a lot of galas.
>You whimper and beg Mommy 'No, please no"
>But you only raised 12 bits for the museum
>Hardly enough to pay for the torn tapestry mountings
"Yes, I think there will be another show."
>[gulp]

>So that night, as your friends go sightseeing, see shows or just play around the hotel, you have to go back to the dumb art museum
>This time there's a quartet of musicians and a crowd of rich, classy ponies
>But they all hush for your performance
>Awww, horsefeathers...

>Mom proceeds to paddle your posterior for a second time today
>It's agony and humiliation but at least it doesn't last as long this time
>Only about 5 minutes
>The art loving crowd sees it as a brilliant, multifaceted piece of performance art
>A demonstration of the duality yet unity of love and suffering in pony culture
>All kinds of artsy babble like that
>At least you get rich pony sized donations this time
>No need for a third performance
>Thank Celestia for that.
