“Protest long enough that you are right, and you will be wrong”
So there is a punishment awaiting me over the missed phone call the other night. 30 lashes from that hateful blue stick.
30 – one for every minute He waited.
Except… it wasn’t 30 minutes. It was 20.
I bit my tongue at the initial handing down of the verdict, squashing the urge to scream “Nuh-uh! It wasn’t 30 minutes Master! Master! Master! It was only 20 minutes! Nuh-uh! I remember!” I didn’t say that. I *thought* it, the self-righteous argumentative bitch that lives my head really really wanted to say it.
But prudence won out.
However.
That blue stick is wicked. I don’t mean wicked in that ‘oh-that-hurts-do-it-again-you-beast’ way. I mean.. like, really, I cry before it even starts kind of wicked. And there is a big damn difference between 20 and 30 when each lash feels like it’s penetrating your bone.
So that protest has been rolling around in my noggin. I talk myself into it, telling myself that Master is a reasonable man, and surely he’ll listen with rapt attentiveness to my very correct assessment of his mistake. And then I immediately follow that up with a mental slap upside the head, and tell myself to shut the fuck up before 30 becomes 60 for being petty.
Perhaps He feels that the injustice He felt while waiting for 20 minutes will be evened out by the injustice of doling out 10 extra lashes.
But then I even scrolled back on the caller ID to check the exact time He called that night. Called to reprimand me for forgetting to call Him. At precisely 10:51.
NOT 30 minutes. 20. 21, in fact
And it’s just not fair!
By the time He reads this, it’ll probably be done and over. He’s not due home now until Wednesday (boo) and He doesn’t access the site from the company comp so He won’t read this until I dunno when. Which gives me incredible amounts of time to stew and decide to argue only to decide to shut up only to stew on it some more. So what do you do when the Boss is wrong? Do you correct Him or does that just tend to make it worse? (which is what I’m afraid of!) Do you suck it up, buttercup and take it like a good lil soldier?
Stupid blue stick. I’d like to chop it up into teeny tiny blue pieces and melt it into a gooey blue puddle and wash it down the stupid sewer drain. Hmmph.

You’re right. You’re right. I know you’re right. It’s not the answer I *wanted* mind you, but it’s what I expected.
You know what this is called? Deflection. Yep. Deflecting attention or blame away from my own fuck up.
“It is an easy to apply response to compensate for defeat and disappointment, that negates the taking of personal responsibility”
“Recent research has shown that people can enhance their own reputations by accusing others of faults they possess”
“If you do bad, finding a way to hide or deflect that truth is the backup position to avoid disdain and consequences, whence come such behaviors as lying, blaming, deflecting, and attacking back (the best defense is a good offense), strategies to preserve the image or power.”
Good little soldier. Ayup.

Kaya,
My high school band director had a sign on his bulletin board, one that was supposed to be facisious, but serious as well. “There are two rules in band. 1) the director is always right. 2) In the event the director is wrong, refer back to rule 1.” I suspect that with a little rewording, this might apply to your situation as well. Not only that, you don’t know what HIS watch said the time was when He called. For all you know, he’s being lenient. (ha ha, I know, that just doesn’t happen in real life)

Kaya,
Man, that is just plain hard. If I were you (and at this point and time, I am glad I am not), I would just suck it up cause like you said, you don’t want 60. I have found that it’s not that prudent to try to convince my Master when he is already mad cause it only gets worse.
Sorry honey….
Actually, and I cannot BELIEVE I am saying this, it really doesn’t matter what the facts are. The point is it felt to him like half an hour. And that was a bummer for him–wanting to talk to you and hoping you were eager to talk, and then . . . no call. 30 minutes, in his mind, if not in actuality.
So yeah, it’s petty. I happen to think whipping someone with a really painful nasty implement is kinda a bad way to respond to the situation too, just because FOR ME AND MY PARTNER it wouldn’t work. But that’s what you guys do . . . so make nice and really, don’t say anything. You know you gonna regret it.
I really cannot believe I am typing this. I never would have two years ago. Heaven help me.
Oh yeah–I forgot to say what Rayne said which is I’m sorry. :(
But something in me has a feeling you might post pics afterwards and talk about the hawt hawt hawt sex you had afters . . . maybe not, but maybe. ;)
Good luck! :eep:
Kaya, you know I love you.. but I do have to point out that he would have had to continue waiting to hear from you because he is the one that called you at the 21 minute “late” mark… and I know its gonna hurt.. but 9 extra lashes and he called you, you did not call him.. sounds… well… fair. It could be a lot worse because he did not get a call at 10:30 and then called you instead of you calling him late. Does that make sense?
Master was reading my writing this comment over my shoulder and He said, “Do you know what you would get for that?” and I said, “Um.. no Master.” “Five lashes for each minute” and just slowly walked away, leaving me to cringe. He’s evil. But I love Him.
So anyways… in this case I would say be a good lil solider.
This is totally correct. He could have maybe waited longer and increased the punishment appropriately. What fun would that have been for Him?
How much longer would He have waited if He did not call? 20 more minutes? 40? Would you really want 60 whacks with that thing?
At the very least, you know there are quite a few pervs who are appreciating all 30 whacks, due to being able to see the “after” photos.
How come there’s so many raynes running around the web??!? Sheesh!
So… I decided to run this by Master. The entire situation. From beginning to punishment. Just in case this should ever happen to me so that I don’t have to choose for myself cause He’s already told me (That’s why I love reading you so much! ^.0). And He says that if I corrected Him He’d double it. He says that it’s petty to point out nine more strokes just to save myself trouble and in the long run I’d be causing myself more trouble.
Had I not known about the doubling part, I’d probably have said “But it’s not Him on the other end of that thing!” However, knowing He’d double it, I’d just take my lumps and hope He’d realize what He’d done and think I was super slave or something. No sense making Him more angry. Course, I have the benefit of knowing the response I’d get before hand.
Can you imagine having to have the honor system in place? In other words, being responsible for reporting your own failures? Do you think you would, ummm, lie a little? Just curious. i mean nothing negative by this.
i love your sarcasm. 20 – 30 – 21 – 3 minutes… the kicker is that you were late. It doesn’t matter.
Just like knowing right from wrong and being responsible for reporting yourself.
Anyway, you may hate the misery stick but i cannot WAIT to hear all about it- evil little laugh…
xoxx
lol i cant help myself and always argue the point especially when i know that i am right but it always costs me…
erm…I believe this quote from Ren Faire might sum it up nicely: “Floggings will continue until morale improves”
Afraid I’m gonna have to jump on the “best to leave it alone and deal with consequences” band wagon and wish you the best of luck getting through it!
Have to admit, I would probably not argue, and just accept that I was going to get punished and take it.
If your Master is anything like mine, and I do think they were seperated at birth!, then any protest would probably be met with a wicked grin and a rapidly increasing number!
Good luck sweetie!
xx
Unless it was something serious where my Master needed to know that they were wrong, or if they asked me specifically for information that would warrant me correcting them, I would just let it go. Because odds are, there woudl be much more punishment for having the audacity to correct my Master.
Reading your thoughts on whether or not you should try and correct him gave me a good laugh, which I sorely needed, so I’ll say thank you.
Now if my guy were to come to me and tell me, “No, it wasn’t thirty, it was only twenty.” My response back would be, “To get out of some punishment you can remember just exactly how many minutes it was past the proper time, but you can’t seem to remember to pick up a phone and call me at the required time?”
The temptation to throw in a few extra bits of punishment for him would be very, very high.
“He wasn’t wrong, he just rounded it up to a nice even number” my owner said after he read this. :)
I have to agree with humble doll’s owner. He just rounded up!
Sweetie, for the love of god do not bring it up. Please.
You’re wonderful, but please, for all you know, he knew it was 21 minutes and 34 seconds, but he’s choosing to round it up. Also, you really don’t want one hit per second that he was gone, do you?
pain for punishment doesn’t work for me – 20. 21 minutes of an ass fucking would be appropriate but oh yeah, you and I both would like that and therefore it wouldn’t be punishment. I think my M would come up with something like ride my bike for 20 minutes which would be punishment in all kinds of ways especially since it is hot here already.
I haven’t read the other comments so sorry if I’m being repetitive, but I’d keep my damn mouth shut.
Just let it roll, lol. Don’t make a bad situation worse.
You already screwed up by missing the call time, so just man up and take the 30.
:)
your pal (really),
magpie
If it were me in your Masters place it would depend how you phrased your objections.
Asking if I was aware it was 21 minutes would be fine.
Tell me I was wrong and it should only been 21 strokes and I’d ask if you were sure then given the 21 strokes. After I’d explain that I saved you from a worse punishment by calling you. Yet you were ungrateful enough to decide I’d a mistake. The new rules would be if I set you a specific task I would let you continue to screw up until you realized and confessed. Now matter how bad the punishment you accrued got. If you argued with this I’d ask what time you think you would have remembered to call, and give you rest of those strokes now.
In short, you screwed up, your Master put it right, now you’re questioning his punishment and whining its unfair.
I’m on the bandwagon with everyone else, just suck it up.
Damn damn damn. The stick isn’t the worst part. It’s the dreading. Just remind yourself that you will not die. You will live through it, & then it will be over. It’s the benefit of straightforward punishment.
would you please post a pix of this blue stick
Dam…ya’ll are mean :X I guess you can’t hide the blue stick and claim the dog ate it…sucks
LMAO the suck it up buttercup just killed me.
Ooo, I just watched one of your clips (jawspreader) and one thing your master said seemed pertinent here! ‘Who’s in charge? So who’s going to do what he wants anyway?’ or words to that effect!
Good luck with the pain though :/ *hugs*
Laura
Kaya,
I have to agree with the other commenters here. Sorry! But I really do think it’s best if you just don’t question it. And I have to say that Sierra’s comment is so accurate. Hope you get through it as best you can.
