One way of earning a spanking without saying a word? Rolling my eyes. When a lecture drags on just a tad too long, my eyes roll up to stare at the ceiling. And in no time flat, I’m usually then staring at the carpet.
Terrible habit. But it does tend to move things along nicely. 
How do you communicate non-verbally that you need a spanking … NOW! And if you’re a spanker, what body language cues signal to you that it’s time to take matters into your own hands?

Ohhhh… I can’t help but roll my eyes. If I hear something ridiculous, up they go. I also like to make snide smartass remarks with a little know it all smirk. A little sass can go a loooooooooong way!

Another good topic, Pixie!! I, too have found myself staring at the carpet much earlier than expected just by gazing around the room or looking at something OTHER than the pair of gazing eyes watching my every move. Just breaking eye contact is enough to convey my impatience sometimes. Defiantly folding my arms in front is another act that will speed things up. And if I’m asked a question that I don’t respond to after several seconds, or laugh or giggle while being scolded ….. same response.
Men are the easiest to manipulate, but the women respond equally when I’m really anxious to cut through the talking and get to the action.

Dear Pixie,
Eye-rolling is certainly one. Sticking out your tongue would be another.
A dismissive wave of the hand will always get immediate attention, especially if it’s accompanied by, “Whatever!”
The one that would get you over my knee the quickest, though, would be to plant your feet and stand with arms akimbo, i.e. hands on hips, elbows outward. That stance practically screams, “So what are you going to do about it?”
And I, of course, am only to happy to show you….

Pixie,
A good post! I think one of the most sexy words ever is “lecture”. I like to picture myself in a compromising situation (maybe being too chatty on the phone). I dress in my most adorable babydoll, then climb on my pretty rocking horse and wait…after what seems like hours, my cute bf comes slamming into the room. He’s so masterful and in control, and he gives me the strongest lecture imaginable. I love to be submissive under the strength of his voice.
Cheers,

Darn it, you stole my topic! I have been working on a similar post. =P
July 20th, 2008 - 2:43 pm
hehehe…the eye-roll, one of my personal favs…there is also the arms-crossed-are-you-done-yet-evil stare, and occasionally when I’m feeling particularly indignant, copious use of the single finger solute.
WEG
Sarah!

I first want to thank you Pixie for bringing up such an important piece to this certain genre.
As a spanker of those both female and male, different age groups, and always in a maternal sense of the word, I have faced so many “attitudes” that I wonder if I’d ever be able to recount them all, heh.
Your own admission of rolled eyes is one that I have been exposed to many a time.
Also, the all important, long winded sigh, as if they have nothing better to do or I am being too boring for their taste, or worse, that it’s all “no big deal”, that gets my duff up quite a bit.
Another would be the folded arms accompanied by a pout, especially when they are most deserving of their punishment.
And lastly, I suppose the one really at the top of my list would be when they, those that I’ve spanked numerous times, do things that they know have always earned them a trip over my knee. I’ve always been one to say it’s behavior that is a big force behind what drives a spanking, so when I know it’s all intentional, someone is in for a very red hot bottom very soon.
But that’s enough from me– more than I think. And once again, thank you so for giving all of us such a welcome, warm spot to share our feelings about something we all adore.
I’d be honored for the chance to take you across my knee one day and show you my true appreciation, heh.

stomping your foot is good for moving things alone quickly too. Hubby hates when I stomp, roll my eyes, stick my hands on my hips but one of the other things that gets me looking at the carpet is huffing while he is lecturing me,
July 21st, 2008 - 12:19 am
Oh, the rolling of the eyes, absolutely. I’ve been doing that as long as I can remember. That, and smirking, scrunching up my nose, sticking my tongue out…
If I ever got Botox and lost the use of my face, I’d have to give up bratting.

The very first picture we ever saw of you was of an eye roll… lol… and we’re still here reading a couple of years later. So, yea… you have an eye roll that works!

the rolling of the eyes is a definate give away but i myself have found that if i’m being lectured a smart mout coment is a sure fire way to end the lecture , because as sune as my DADDY hears the slightest hint of my smart mouth my bottom is beinf bared and daddy’s belt is coming off.

The eye roll is a definite signal to take matters in hand, and another, which you’re really good at, Pixie, is the wisecrack or “smart remark” made under the breath. Then there’s the ever-popular hand held up beside the ear, crab-claw fashion, mimicking a person talking. It’s so nice to see that hand re-employed a short while later desperately trying to protect a flaming bottom. Not so much to say now, hmmm, Miss Hand?
Sarcasm is a ticket to a quick trip OTK, as are annoyed groans. A friend (non-partner) I had in college once admitted that, growing up, her widowed father had spanked her on average about once a week. The main reason? Talking back when he was lecturing or scolding her. A partner told me that the grandmother who raised her used to make threats of an impending paddling by starting with “If you don’t…” and ending with the phrase, “…or you’ll know the reason why!” Once she reached her early teens, she could no longer resist challenging this grammatical error, with the predictable result. Knowing what to expect when that particular button was pushed, I made sure to incorporate that phrase into any lecture I knew was going to be continued OTK. I never let her get out of the lecture, but her long sighs and groans of annoyance were soon replaced with much sweeter sounds.

For me spanking has always been a highly sensual/sexual act, sometimes resulting in orgasm for one or both of us during a particularly hot OTK session. If my baby’s been a “bad girl” and needs to be punished then that’s just icing on an already delicious cake and adds to the intensity of the moment. But she knows she’s going to get spanked whether she’s been a good girl or not because her red cheeks excite her as much as it does me. So I guess my answer to your question is that she doesn’t need to do anything to earn or invite a spanking, because her cheeks stay red most of the time anyway. And although we’re a middle-aged couple, the almost overwhelming heat that’s generated by my spanking her gives us the raw lust and passion of a pair of teenage newlyweds.
But no matter what you’re reaction to spanking I highly recommend it as potentially powerful aprhodesiac — provided that you and your mate are willing and enthusiastic participants.

I had a guy friend who’d say things which would earn him an eye roll from me…but just for fun. I had my own special variation. 1. The tongue click.
2. The over-dramatic sigh. 3. The eye roll. The funny thing was he would actually encourage me and if I didn’t do all 3 in order he’d ask me to do it again. I’d say feel free to borrow my technique anytime, but I have a feeling you don’t need any of my ideas! You are plenty naughty on your own!
July 22nd, 2008 - 2:35 am
Perhaps it could all be summed up in the ominous “Don’t you dare look at me in that tone of voice!”
July 22nd, 2008 - 6:16 am
I love your blog, Pixie.
I enjoy your analytical view of spankings. Seeing the eye roll as moving things along, that is pretty funny.
Of course, spankees as a class probably have better senses of humor than spankers, who seem to always want to get down to business and take trivial matters so seriously.
July 22nd, 2008 - 7:13 am
Probably another would be walking away when being talked to or lectured. That definitely earns a trip over the knee a lot quicker.Throwing a attitude fit at me for no reason also would earn a long bare bottomed spanking. I did that to a girlfriend of mine shortly after we started dating.
July 22nd, 2008 - 8:24 pm
The eye roll works for me, either when I do it, or when I see it. I notice the person you’re eye-rolling in the picture you posted is me… Hope you weren’t as bored once you were, “staring at the carpet.”
July 22nd, 2008 - 10:37 pm
Chelsea, it’s not my place to say, but I think that’s Susan in the scene where Pixie misbehaves in church. However, I doubt anyone you spank could ever be bored at all, what with all those great scoldings you give during. Too bad you don’t make audio tapes of them by topic (e.g., failing a class or breaking curfew) for all those self-spankers out there to incorporate into their maternal discipline fantasies. Just a thought. Keep up the great work.

Kat – Oh a smirk. I think that gets points for smallest movement with the biggest impact.
Linde – Terrible isn’t it how we end up getting spanked for simply looking around the room. Merely being observant and vigilant. Never know when a ninja might descend from the ceiling.
Dr. Ken – Should we get the chance to meet face to face, I’ll have to remember to adopt that stance.
tim – sometimes it does!
dani – when the lecture is stern enough and well earned, that is one time I don’t dare sass back. I become very submissive.
Chloe – Sorry!!! Didn’t mean to.
It’s our psychic connection at work again.
Sarah – You are a brave one!!!
MKB – I’ve tried claiming that a sigh that escapes is really just a sudden need for a deep breath. If I ever had the pleasure of being spanked by you, I don’t guess that one would fly?
lispy – You have many practiced techniques! I can only imagine how quickly you might be looking at the carpet if you used a few of them at one go.
Erica – Give up bratting?! Don’t ever do that. Stay far, far away from Botox if for no other reason. The world would be a lot more sad and boring if you ever had to stop bratting.
Todd & Suzy – Yup. If I don’t quit it, my eyes are going to pop right out of my head and roll across the floor one day.
naughty boy – Smart remarks will do it too. Of course I kind of like the non-verbal cues too because then I can give a good shocked response of, “what? I didn’t say anything!” and mean it.
Dreams of Horses – Oh yes, the talking hand.
I like to accompany that gesture with the “wahw wahw wahw” sound the adults made in Peanuts.
Serial Spanker – Sounds like you and your girl are on the same wavelength and don’t need any hints or cues at all!
2Good – I am taking notes and will let you know the end result. Would you like to take a scientific educated guess on how the experiment might turn out?
Winchester – LOL!!
Brad D. – Thank you
We spankees and spankers may have different approaches, but we seem to happily end up with achieving the same goal.
Dave – Oooh! Walking away. That is ballsy. Of course it could lead to a fun chase and tackle. *Adds to list of techniques to try.
Chelsea – You indeed have a lovely eye rolling technique. Your eyes are so expressive whether they are saying “oh please”, “you’re in trouble”, or “happy, happy!” And while as the anonymous person below posted, that is actually the back of Susan’s head in the photo, I know I’ve done an eye roll or seven with you and regretted it every time!
Anonymous – I can personally vouch that boredom is never an issue when getting spanked by Chelsea. And one of the things I love when hearing her lecturing a girl during the spanking is when she taunts the girl by mimicking her whining.

Okay–but then don’t be surprised by what happens next….
