I just experienced something kind of strange. Ashley was playing with our cordless phone. I told her she isn’t allowed to play with it, and she said “Yes sir” and put it down. Then, ten or so minutes later, Geneva did something that required discipline. So I did that.

Then Ashley came back to me, and said she needed a spanking. I asked her why, and she said because she was playing with the phone. I said she didn’t need a spanking for that. And she began crying. She cried that she did need a spanking, she did. I told her several times that she didn’t need a spanking for it, but she insisted she did, crying more and more each time she said it.

I reached out and put my hand on her shoulder and said to her, “Ashley, I forgive you for touching the phone. You are all forgiven”. She reached up and gave me a hug and was satisfied. I guess she had a conviction about that phone.

edit: When I told Megan about this story, she informed me that Ashley was actually caught with the phone again, and that’s why she came back to me saying she needed a spanking. So she really did need one. At least she didn’t just walk away after I told her she didn’t need one. I’m glad she didn’t want to cheat like that.
