I heard a shriek from upstairs this morning, and rushed to investigate.
Abel was in the shower. I have never seen him scared of water before, so I worriedly asked what was wrong.
It appeared that the cold weather of the last few days tempted both of us to have hot baths rather than showers, and so the temperature settings on the shower remained the same as during my reformatory birching scene.
That is, not quite freezing, but still pretty damn cold.
Did he notice this before turning on the water? No, he didn’t.
Awww.
*must… stifle… laughter…*
*going… to… choke…*
S’no good. Sorry. Bwa-ha-ha!
Oh dear. Poor Abel’s luck must be running out.
(I could, of course, have made some comment about how I do hope he’ll reconsider my advice on those hearing aids, since this is only the last piece of evidence in a looooong row that his eyesight is definetely going, too, but the shriek made me go all soft on him, I guess…)
Tee hee….
Poor Abel.
Oops, sorry. I shouldn’t snigger should I. Of course it’s all Haron’s fault for getting birched in the first place! :P~~~
Fantastic!
..and justice being done, I’m sure you had a bowl of hot porridge and a pot of tea ready for him……
Hehee such delicious schadenfreude! Haron did you manage not to giggle?
Could this possibly be birching karma?
Harriet, I assure you, I was all sympathy. (Any giggling would have happened strictly behind the scenes, of course.)
I shall spare Simon. But the rest of you: line up outside my door to be caned. Immediately.
(They’re laughing at me….)
Given that Simon is one of the most spankable guys I’ve ever met, I think you’re making a mistake…
…bbbbbut what about the presentation? We’d feel so guilty keeping you from your work…..
The phrase “spankable guy” doesn’t work for me, somehow. My goodness, but there are some perverts out there… sorry, asleep in the bedroom next door.. to be into such things!!!
Rob – you’re right to feel guilty. I think the strokes should be extra-hard.
He should go to Lowewood the shower are good there so I here I have no doubt even the Chaplin has one after his coaching on the river
As I understand it, the showers at Lowewood can be quite chilly too, at times. Particularly for the losers at netball.
If Abel’s threatening to cane all those who laugh at him, then I shall have to make mine less private I think.
Ahahahahahaha!
*ducks and runs for cover*
Shall I punish Simon for you? *smiles innocently
*plays her favourite “Get Simon into Trouble” game* If it won’t trouble you too much, Katie. I’m sure Abel would be ever so grateful.
Mwahaha.
Oh it’s no trouble at all! Really… *weg*
Oh Abel, surely Haron ought to take my caning for me because she posted this in the first place…? I mean, I can’t be blamed for reacting instinctively to such things, right?
All I can say is SNOT FAIR!!!!!
Katie sniggered too….
:P~~~~
*runs away
Simon – I think you and I should both cane Katie, don’t you?
And anyway – how come a post about *me* suffering a misfortune has attracted more comments than any other post in nearly 11 weeks, eh? This is not that kind of blog…
I think Abel is sulking… and when I think of how much trouble I get into for doing that! Tsk!
Abel: Oh great! Now two men today think I am right to be guilty and that the strokes should be extra hard. It is time to reform…
Nooooooooo Rob, don’t reform…. how dull would that be? 😉
> Simon – I think you and I should both cane Katie, don’t you?
Now that sounds like an excellent suggestion.
Hey! I said it first *pouts*
This is confusing. I can’t keep track of who’s done what and who’s going to get caned and who’s not. And you should really see the amount of comments made on this post as a confirmation of your greatness, Abel. I mean, it’s much more fun to read about some great, GREAT man taking a fall than to read about… er… the common man doing the same damn thing. Right?
(Am I getting out of getting caned yet?)
I wonder whether anyone has ever caned both a Kate and a Katie at the same time…
