Stand up

Lately, when I hear Mistress say those little two word-type of commands like "stand up" or "come here", I think I am either in trouble or about to be edged.  Last night, Mistress and I were sitting on the couch watching TV.  The kids were laying in our bed, watching TV, and were decidedly NOT asleep.  I didn't see her, but Mistress looks over and see the glass that was holding my cocktail was not on a coaster.

"Stand up", are the words I hear that tears my attention from the TV.  I'd ask why.  Now, I just stand.  There was a ruler left on the coffee table from when the kids were doing some projects earlier in the day and all of a sudden it was in her hand. 

"Turn around" were the next words to come from her mouth, followed by "lower them" referring to my shorts.  At this point I thought Mistress was just being playful because we both knew that the kids were NOT asleep.  She wasn't playing and repeated "lower them", only this time it was in a tone that left no doubt.  I lowered my shorts and she swatted my bare bottom three time, pretty hard.  At the moment, she absolutely wanted to go on, but became overly concerned about one of our kids walking in the room.   "Up" she said, making a motion with the ruler to raise my shorts.  "Sit!"   I sat.

She looked at me with obvious frustration that she couldn't continue to paddle me with the ruler.  Nothing more was said of it.  Although it wasn't too painful, I sat there with three distinct, thin strips of stinging on my ass as we continued watch our show.
