Sadie: Let’s be real…the spanking probably hurt more than a tumble down the stairs would. 😛
Spankings from Mycroft would be worse than ones from anyone else. So shame! Cause no one can layer on the disappointment like My.
Sadie: Especially from Mycroft…who wouldn’t hesitate to use Little Sherlock’s more vulnerable, sensitive headspace to drive his point home with surprisingly minimal damage to his backside.
John and Mycroft would likely end up in heated discussions about child rearing, forgetting that their baby was actually a grown man, who’d used the distraction to sneak biscuits.
Sadie: And Sherlock naturally sides with John, because while his spankings may hurt more physically, he’d rather take three of those a day than listen to Mycroft’s soul-withering scoldings.
…Plus, John has squishier cuddles afterwards.
