Me: "Now that's enough, Alex! I'm putting you in time out for throwing toys."
Alex sits quietly in his time out spot for three minutes....
Me: "Now can you tell me why I put you in time out?"
Alex: "......uhhhhh.... I sassing..."
Me: "No..."
Alex: "......uhhhh..... I biting...."
Me: (now trying to stiffle my giggles) "No. Don't you remember?"
Alex: ".....uhhhh..... juss i-tauz..." (just because)
Me: "No. I put you in time out because you were throwing toys. Do we throw toys?"
Alex: "Nooooooooo...."
Me: "Do you know why we don't throw toys?"
Alex: Notices the furrows on my forehead and rubs his little fingers over them giggling... "I want to do that again!"
Me: "Alex?"
Alex: "You funny, Mommy!"
