Waiting

Big Mistake

You called me a name as I left the room, which appeared to get no response. A success you thought, all confident and feeling that the balance had tipped a little, perhaps a lot?

I will be able to be a little more assertive perhaps you thought.

Smiling outwardly and inwardly, others definitely would have NOT got away with such disrespect you thought.

Others certainly would have been punished. A clear Reframing delivered and put firmly back in their place you thought.

Very true, very true indeed.

You continue to play on your phone.

Five minutes later, I am back with a wooden paddle.

Get undressed now and get over my lap.

Fifteen strokes later, you are no longer smiling.

Balance restored.
