Time Out!

Charlie has taken to doling out 'time outs' even more frequently than I do. The other day in the car I swatted at Mike for some comment he made only to hear the time out police in the back seat: "Mommy! No hitting Daddy! Time out!"

Or on the playground as some unwitting child brushes past him: "Hey! Hey guys! Time out!"

His stuffed animals are not exempt either. Last night I overheard him on the monitor: "Elmo! Elmo, stop it! Time out, Elmo!"

I just hope that whatever Elmo did he deserved it.
