You're cleaning your girlfriend's living room for her when the door opens and she steps in. She struts in, high heels clacking on the wood. "Sweetie. How was your day?" She hands you her purse.

What exactly do you mean by "good"? You can do better than that. Let me see some enthusiasm. And I don't want excuses about how tired you are today. Now, start again. Tell me what was AMAZING about your day!

Well, that's more like it. It's always so gratifying to come home to a clean house. But remember, it's my job to make sure you stay in line and obey. Finish up here, and then go take a nice hot bath and get yourself ready for dinner. Oh, and hurry up, I don't want you keeping me waiting.

I am appalled at your disobedience. It is absolutely unacceptable to ignore my orders. If you insist on being so defiant, we will have to discuss this further once I get home tonight. There will be consequences for your behavior, and you will learn your lesson. In the meantime, get your butt in that bath, and make sure you are properly groomed when I get back. Do you understand?

Well then, it seems you need some encouragement. Let's hope that when I get home I don't have to resort to punishment right away. Now, get in that bath and follow my instructions!

Very well then, I'm leaving you alone until I get home. When that time comes and I find you still ignoring my orders...well, let's just say that you won't be forgetting this lesson anytime soon. You'll regret your disobedience, trust me. Enjoy your solitude while it lasts.

You're really testing my patience with this defiance. I can be quite creative when it comes to punishment, and I assure you that you won't like what I have in store for you tonight. Better think twice about continuing down this path of disobedience.

Well, aren't you just being the stubborn little brat? You know perfectly well that I don't like it when you disobey me. But since you seem so insistent on this path of defiance...I guess there's nothing else for me to do but teach you a lesson tonight. Get ready, sweetie - it won't be pleasant.

It may feel good now to thumb your nose at me and show some independence, but believe me when I say that the pleasure will be short-lived. Once my punishment takes hold, there will be no escape from the consequences of your actions. Soon enough, you'll be begging for forgiveness and promising to never disobey again. Just wait and see...

Hmmm, I see you've come to your senses. Good girl. Perhaps there's hope for you yet. Now that you've decided to behave, perhaps we can discuss how best to make up for your disobedience earlier today...

If you didn't obey me like a good little boy, then why are you trying to save face now? It's too late for that. You made your choice, and now you have to face the consequences. Let this be a lesson to you about respect and obedience in our relationship. Maybe next time, you'll think twice before choosing defiance over submission.

Perhaps later, once you have properly learned your lesson and earned back my trust, I will reward you with some special attention. But for now, it is my job to teach you the importance of submission and obedience in our relationship. So brace yourself, my naughty little brat - tonight, you will receive the punishment you so richly deserve.

It seems you're still not quite getting the message. Well, perhaps some additional punishment is in order to really drive home the point. Tomorrow night, I expect you to show full and complete obedience, understanding that disobeying again will result in even harsher consequences. Do we understand each other?
