New Age Lifestyle

Well Marcy, that should be a lesson learned 😄 My earlier advice of suggesting you need to apologise, accept whatever punishment was considered appropriate and then move on was more or less based on childhood experience of dealing with my step mother. she used to send me shopping before going to school and when I returned home there would regularly be something missing that I am quite sure she never asked for. She then punished me by making me wear one of my sister’s skirts and then I had to return to the shop to buy the missing item. when I got home with said item, she would ask if I had learned my lesson, lift my skirt sometimes and give my bottom a few whacks with whatever implement she had handy. Then it was school trousers on and off to school and I was often late for registration causing further distress. I don’t recommend or condone any of this behaviour but that is how things were in our household many decades past. The lesson I learnt as a young child was that it was totally pointless to argue with the person in charge, all it did was delay things and got me into more trouble and a striped bottom. So when I am the maid to my wife these days I am confident I do not slip into any kind of con conformist behaviour and don’t sulk; just enjoy serving her!

As things cooled down, I really was ready to just forget and move on until I found my note.  I fussed over it all day rehearsing the best way to present it without being disrespectful and believed that she would accept my evidence absolving me of any wrongdoing.  She took it okay until telling me that "I wrote it down wrong."  After that, my male pride kicked-in and screwed it all up.  The joke was on me because she had earlier decided to let me off with a warning versus any punishment.  Ego messed that up.  I do respect the fact that she had to quash any challenge to her authority or I would backslide in my training.  You are right, I wasn't going to win and put us both through unnecessary punishment.
