    None of the above.
    Chances are I am using something of hers for my purposes here.
    Depends on what and how bad is the infraction.

    Doing what?

    Blurting out "WILCO's polls made me do it!" just might confuse her long enough for me to come up with a better plan.

    I make her believe it's her fault.
    if that fails I revert to number 4, if that fails I help her pack her stuff.

    Deny everything! It won't make any difference and she will never forget but it gives you something to do while waiting for the punishment to begin. Remember she will never forget so the punishment is never completely over.

    If I do anything she doesn't appreciate, it is either leaving gun stuff, usually casting or reloading gear all over the place, which is an easy fix, or something to do with letting the dogs get away with something, or more likely being right there with them doing it too. In which case it means I sleep with them for a while, which I don't mind a bit and usually do anyway. Actually, I think I think I sleep cuddled with the dogs more than I do with her. Maybe I do stay in trouble and have just gotten used to it afterall?
    I passed my last psych eval, how bout you?

    Avoid eye contact, keep a friend around, better if you get one her friends to come over, at least until the steam is released a bit. Bring home supper like Chinese take out, the Big M supper club ain't gonna work this time.

    You just want the initial steam to settle, it will never go away, it is just more ammo for next time so get that out of your head.
