What Time Out Looks Like at My House

My children are out of control...they seem to take turns getting in trouble at their respective schools. Today, Jack hops in the car and has "the look". I don't even need to ask because I know the answer, but I proceed to ask how his day was. "Did you get in trouble?" I ask. He says, "Yes" and rapidly changes the subject to everything but the issue. After 8 minutes of him gleefully telling me everything about his day, except what happened, I asked what he got a dart for. He responds, "I don't want to tell you because I will lie." I try not to laugh as I say, "Well then don't lie. It's always better to tell the truth." Apparently in gym class, they were doing stacking cups and he didn't stop. Really? That's all? What a relief.

Tonight we get home and Ava decides she is going to do her own thing. As a result, she gets a time out...check out what time out looks like at my house...look closely!
