The other day Liam and I were playing when we abruptly got up and said, "Time out Mommy." He then took my hand and led me to the stairs and made me sit down. I asked, "why am I in time out Liam?" Liam's reply, "you hit Liam."
Yikes!!! Surely you know I never hit my child although my fear is he'll say this out in public somewhere or to his teachers at school! I then said to Liam, "No, Liam, Mommy doesn't hit you." He took that as an affirmation that I understood I wasn't supposed to hit not that I never did it. "Mommy, no hit, time out."
He then went around the corner and counted to 10 (which I do for timeout although he covered his eyes - a carryover from Hide & Seek). He then came back in the room and said, "get up Mommy, hug now." All was forgiven.
