I was working from home and went downstairs to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. I'd been concentrating on work and took the opportunity to briefly switch off and rest my mind for a bit.
As I was walking down the stairs I wondered what it would be like to slap someone across the face. There was no particular reason or context to this thought. I could just have easily wondered what it would be like to fill some wellies with tomato soup and walk down the street wearing them.
My wife was in the kitchen making her lunch and without any consideration or thought, as I walked in I straight up asked her "What would you do if I slapped you across the face?". She replied to say that's very mean, started crying, and left the room. I'm going to take from that response that she wouldn't be too chuffed if I did slap her.
Still not on proper speaking terms, I've got some making up to do.
(For the record I've never slapped her, or anyone for that mattter, and have no intention of ever doing so)
Tl;Dr I asked my wife what she would do if I slapped her across the face and she started crying.
