Pull Me Back
Don’t let me walk the edge.
That tone? You know the one. I need you to stop me, and tell me to try again.
When I insinuate that you care less than I do. I need you to shut it down. Force me to say I know it’s not true.
If you get a ‘yeah,’ or an ‘’okay,’’ instead of a ‘’yes, Sir,’’ then I need you to pull me back.
When I skirt the edge, telling you that “it wasn’t clear,” or “you never specifically said,” I need you to remind me that the spirit of the rule is enforceable too.
I need you to remind me. I don’t do these things out of disrespect. It’s rare that I’m tugging on the leash just to see what you’ll do. The truth is sometimes I forget. Sometimes my obedience comes hard. I need to know it matters, and only you can remind me.
