Emily: "Morgan, do you know why you're in a time out?"
I'm asking her to see if she knows. But I'm also asking because in the 4 minute time lapse since banishing her to the time out step, I have honestly forgotten why I put her there.
Morgan: "Because I called you the ridiculous lady I ever knew."
Oh yeah, now it's coming back to me.
Emily: "Um, no. That's why you got soap in your mouth. You're here because I told you NOT to do something and you did it."
And just like that we're back on track again. Hugging. Forgiveness.
The "most ridiculous lady you ever knew"... ha! Just wait until you're 13, baby!

What Ma Said:
I found myself saying to Morgan this morning, "You want to cry? I'll give you something..." and then I stopped. A cliché hit me over the head. Do I really want to hear her reenact this with her dollies?

Dear Ridiculous Lady,
Keep it up. You're doing a great job!
Love,
Ridiculous Lady #2
That is hilarious. I relate to forgetting which offense we are currently punishing. And I when I re-hear those phrases it goes something like:
Dinosaur 1- "Mommy I'm sorry"
Dinosaur 2- "You shouldn't have done that now I'm going to have to spank you extra hard for lying..."
Then both dinosaurs get attacked by Komodo Dragon which I think means that all is forgiven.
