Have you ever considered how bad it is not to let our inner brat out?
Terrible suppression can lead to awful suffering.
So to keep mentally healthy this is what I suggest.
Every morning perform your tongue exercises.

Be sure to show how much you love your Top by having healthy disagreements with him.

- When the man who spanks you is just out of reach be sure to show him your bum so he does not forget what it looks like.

- Have fun, inspirational role models.

- Make sure your hobbies are ones that enrich your life.

- Always be mindful of acceptable time frames. When he wants you to do something it should be “In a while” and when you want something it should be “Now!”

- And, whatever happens, remember the brat mantra – “You can’t make me.”



















Wow Poppy, I never quite realized how I must be compromising my health, with all the awful supression I do each and every day! I am going to let my husband know right away that this is bad for my health. He is always thinking of my well-being, like Dev is of yours, so I am very sure they will both be insistent that we let it ALL out!!!!
Suppression can lead to high blood pressure, stomach woes, unsightly skin rashes, headaches… the list goes on and on.
Seems to me that the tops would want to keep us healthy and robust, no?
I, for one, am rather fond of tongue exercises.
Poppy, thank you for this very edifying addition to the brat manual. Have you ever noticed how close the word “suppress” is to “oppress?” I think I will organize a march (with my little dogs), and wave a banner which says, “No suppression! No oppression!” I will carry a machete. If I can’t find one, I will carry a butter knife.
Either that, or I may just put on my jammies and get to bed early.
Poppy, this was very informative…I simply must find a copy of this manual that Scarlet is referring to as well.
I think the tongue exercises are particularly important, lol. Exercise is very good for you, no?
Oh good grief.
Lol, Devlin. I’m having Charlie Brown flashbacks.
It is horrid o’clock and I am off to work (almost 6am) – too early to be witty but any minute now 53 witty bratisms will rush from my mouth.
Hi Poppy, love the tongue exercise and being always one to find the quick route, I add the rolling of the eyes with – two exercises done. It does seem to give me an extra bounce in my step for the rest of the day!
Poppy, Good morning.

Never a dull moment with you.
I’m inclined to echo Dev and Charlie Brown.
Brats like you keep us all on our toes, and our right arm exercised.
Have a better day, (than yesterday).
Love and warm hugs,
Paul.
Raven Red, what a very good idea!
Is someone taking the minutes of this meeting? I would entrust it to Devlin or Michael, but I’m not sure the transcription would be exactly what we want it to be.
Dear me I had no idea how I was compromising my health, thanks Poppy. I must run now and start my tongue exercises.
Love,
Ronnie

Like Dev said, oh good grief! And I agree with Paul, never a dull moment with you, Poppy.
Hey, what happened to my hand of correction? Oh, there it is.
Sheesh.
What a day. I need a nap and a vodka.
But until then …
I am just thrilled that so many girls are so aware of their health and the importance of taking care of themselves. We must not slack, girls, we must fight on.
All together now, tongues out.

How about that, Charlie Brown?
Well, I expect you will have to decide whether the health benefits of fighting (alleged) suppression is worth the discomfort caused by sticking your tongue out at me, young lady. But that’s entirely your call. And as far as saying ‘You can’t make me,’ I doubt even SHE said that to HIM – more than once anyhow.
Is that bathtub filled with mud, or chocolate pudding?
