You know you have a problem when…
One tip-off that you’re not quite right in the head.
This morning I read an older post by one of my favourite writers here on Medium, Emma Austin.
In that post she spoke about spanking—how she doesn’t spank her kids but she does encourage her husband to spank her.
Well, also in that post she said that once she has 1000 followers, her husband will spank her 1000 times. Two hours ago she was 18 followers away from a very memorable Easter weekend.
Now she’s just 9 followers away and I can’t stop refreshing her profile.
I know that the celebratory spanks won’t start immediately, like fireworks at midnight. But I have this desire to be there, to be part of this momentous moment. As support for a fellow writer who I admire.
At least, that’s what I’m trying to convince myself. But really, I think that maybe I inherited some of Grandma’s voyeur gene. And since I’m a writer, I can vividly imagine the scene almost as well as if I was there in the room with Mrs. and Mr. Austin.
And I don’t want to miss the opening scene… the set-up… will he toss her over his knee? Will he push her up against the wall and smack her sideways? Will she lay on the bed? I won’t know until she gets that 1000th follower.
1000 spanks will probably take a few hours to deliver. And my day is shot now. All thoughts on Mrs. Austin’s celebration of a significant Medium milestone!
Congratulations, Emma! Do tell us about your celebration… once you can sit again. 💜
