"Oh, Louis."
"Yes, my love?"
"Come here, please."
Louis literally ran from the corner to stand before me.
"Perhaps "hurry" is the wrong word. Have you ever seen the TV show, "All in the Family."
"Yes, dear."
"When I call you, I want you to think of yourself as Edith Bunker. I think the operative word here is "scurry." Do you think you can remember that?"
"I won't forget, my love."
"Let's hope so. Now, go back to your corner and let's try this again."
When he was back in position in the corner I called him again. He was a sight to see! Louis bent slightly forward and held his hands in front of him in a submissive pose. He crossed the room with tiny steps until he stood before me. I crossed my legs seductively.
"I'm sure you have many questions. Now is your opportunity. I won't grant this privilege often, so use it wisely."
"The spanking was very painful, dear. I'm not sure that I can take another."
"That is up to you. I want you to know that a paddling with the hairbrush is the most painful punishment I will expect you to endure. The better you become at being a good hubby, the less chance there will be that you receive another.
"You will soon learn the difference between a spanking and a paddling. I don't expect you to be perfect, but you can expect to be punished for your transgressions. As the hairbrush is the worst you can expect, spending time in the corner will be the easiest. Anything else, Louis?"
"Are you going to tell anyone about our...relationship?"
"Again, that will depend upon your behavior. People aren't stupid; when they see you scurrying about the kitchen, fixing dinner and doing the dishes, the women will think of you as "henpecked." The men will regard you as "pussywhipped." Whether or not you will be disciplined in front of others is, again, up to you."
