“Ahh, you’re trying to flatter me so I don’t spank you.”
She gasped. “Daddy! Why would you spank me?”
“For lying just now.”
“When I called you handsome? That wasn’t a lie.”
“Kindest? Loveliest?” he said dryly.
Okay . . . that was more like a stretch of the truth than a lie, though.
“And, anyway, that wasn’t what I was talking about. You want this giant squishy butterfly. Don’t you?”
“I . . . um . . . well, but it’s massive. I mean, it will take up half the room.”
“That’s not what I asked, Little Blossom. You need to stop lying.”
“I’m not! I just . . . it is big and probably expensive, and I’d be just as happy with Piggy.” She held up the hedgehog.
He took Piggy and put him in the cart.
Then he grabbed Flutter and put her in the cart as well.
“Daddy!”
Smack! Smack!
His hand landed twice on her bottom. It didn’t really hurt, but it did shock her. He’d just spanked her.
In public.
Sure, no one was here, but still . . . anyone could have seen them.
“Daddy! You spanked me.”
“That was hardly a spanking. Just a reminder to behave. But when we get home, you’re going to sit down and write fifty lines. Each line will say, ‘I will not lie to my Daddy.’”
That was so mean.
“I was just trying to save you money!”
Slap!
“Daddy!” He was out of control. She reached back to rub her bottom.
“Stop worrying about money. That’s Daddy’s job.”
But she couldn’t help it. She was always worried about money. She couldn’t turn that off.
Reuben wrapped his arms around her, tugging her against his body. “I know it’s hard, but if I don’t want to buy something, I will tell you so. All right?”
Would he?
She sighed. She guessed she had to trust that he would.
“How come you’re allowed to tell me no?” she grumbled.
“Because I’m the Daddy.”
