Sometimes my email correspondents get a teeny bit…cheeky.
They think, because they are far away, that I cannot (or will not) discipline them for their brattiness. There’s some comfort in distance, isn’t there?
My playmates know that I have an immense capacity for misbehavior – that, while I definitely believe that discipline must be applied, a certain amount of brattiness is not only allowed but encouraged. Antics only make the application of discipline more fun for me, as I love a good struggle.
One particular boy decided to push it a bit too far in his email, however, even mentioning how happy he was to have been able to get away with online-bratting with no repercussions thus far. Obviously, he was asking for it..
..so I assigned him twenty-five handwritten lines, to give him a little time to think about things. I’m sure that he was thinking that this wasn’t much punishment at all, and it likely took him only a few minutes to complete – especially judging from his penmanship.
He was not aware, until now, that his assignment would be published for all to see. I do hope that this public embarrassment serves as further punishment for his cheekiness:
Out of interest..
Which buttons did he push to become irksome to you?
Just in case anybody else makes that error of judgement.

She has more than one button so you had better be careful.

love to push your buttons
The fellow’s handwriting is legible, which speaks well of both Ms. Kane’s disciplinary presence in his life and his own diligence.
As someone whose own cursive writing is being brought back from near-illegibility by “homework” assignments, my respect for Ms. Kane has been increased by this exercise, and my compassion for this fellow has come into existence. Ms. Kane is a treasure; her buttons are for her fingers alone.

I reckon swearing would be one.
Or saying that she knits jumpers for gophers.
Or that she may need an abacus to keep count now. As thats twice she has lost count whilst punishing somebody.

Pushing buttons is NEVER a good thing. A few lines on paper are usually better than a few cane lines on your butt!

The thing about buttons is; they always push back.

I will not push Ms. Kane’s bountiful buttons.
I will not push Ms. Kane’s copius buttons.
I will not push Ms. Kane’s sumptuous buttons.
I will not push Ms. Kane’s effusive buttons.
I will not push Ms. Kane’s unrestrained buttons.
Unless, unless I had a thesaurus handy.
@Blazing Bottom… Buttons are meant to be pushed.
