In the midst of all of the fun today, the entire day, Anna was sent to my room to sit on my bed for a time-out. When I returned to my room she was not on my bed.
I instinctly called out (not yelled, I don't yell of course)
"Where are you? Why aren't you on my bed?"
(Disobedience is not a favorite of mine.)
She jumped into the room from the bathroom and said
"I was sitting on the toilet" (the lid was down, her pants were up?)
I asked in a most serious voice "Why?"
(I don't like disobedience.)
She informed me that:
"The toilet is not as much fun as the bed. All I can to is sit. I can jump on the bed and stuff and that is fun."
Oh, silly me. Next time, Anna, you go ahead and plan your own time-out.

when liz came into the family room friday night to tell us of anna's proufound statement i lauhged out loud. what a great place for time out, i know it's one of my favorite places for my "time out" from my kids, even if it only lasts for a moment.
I am dying, that is so funny. Christian likes to think of punishments for himself, too.
