If we did do this for real...
We were playing bar trivia last night
and during the music round my husband starts mocking a song that came
on as I was trying to figure out the title. I turned to him and
yelled “Shut up!”
He shut up, immediately, and left me to
my serious business of coming up with the correct title to the
Mumford and Sons song that was playing.
After the round I apologized for
telling him to shut up. He said he didn't care- we are both ultra
competitive and our trivia nights are deadly serious, so he gets that
I am in the zone.
It lead me to think though about spanking, and domestic discipline, as I'm wont to do. We don't
practice domestic discipline, but would this have been a spankable
offense if we did?
I am left to wonder about this a lot. I
approached my husband about the idea of domestic discipline a while
back, his response was “You would punch me in the face.”
I thought he was crazy with that
comment, until The Remote Throwing Incident. About a month ago we got
into a heated exchange in the kitchen. I stalked off to the living
room and began furiously flipping through channels. My husband came
in, oblivious I was still pissed, and started chatting with me. I
tossed the remote in his general direction and got up to go back in
the kitchen. Only I have bad aim, and when I say I 'tossed' it- it
may have had a bit more power behind it. Needless to say my husband
got into his own little snit when the remote lightly grazed his man
parts.
The illustrious Katherine Deane
suggested that maybe he should have spanked me when I later told her
of the exchange. I'm not saying I didn't think about it after the
fact. But seriously, if he decided right then and there that he was
going to spank me for tossing a remote in his general direction, I
may not have punched him in the face, but it would have gotten ugly.
I am wondering though if this is
because we don't have this agreed upon dynamic. We aren't practicing
domestic discipline, so yeah, it would have been weird for my husband
to spank me with any other intent than to get me off. But what if we
were practicing DD and we had agreed upon things beforehand. I am
wondering what my reaction would have been then.
Leads me to, what would be a spankable
offense in my house.
Cursing? Nope, I curse like a sailor
and luckily so does my husband and it doesn't bother him that I do.
Rolling my eyes? Really? I am rolling
my eyes at the screen right now.
After much thought, I think it would
have to be things I decided on, otherwise I would just feel like he
was being a jerk.
Possibly being late- really the only
thing I am late for is work, and I would rather get spanked than go
to work... actually I would rather get spanked than a lot of things.
Maybe overdrafting my bank account? Adult things I have not yet mastered...
Paying my bills late, that I tend to
pay late every single month even though I know the due date is upon
me and set a reminder in my phone- yet still manage to not get the
stupid payment in on time.
Really I guess things I repeatedly do
that even annoy the shit out of me, yet I can't seem to stop.
I don't see this happening anytime
soon. But it is something to fantasize and write about.
