When time outs don't work......

Entropy's latest literary effort

  This resulted after she decided to viciously elbow Banshee in the back for no apparent reason.  I was spanked as a child and as I recall I was pretty well behaved; or at least I wasn't stupid enough to get beat for the same sin twice.  The Wife decreed that our children would never be spanked.  Says it just teaches them to act with violence.  There is probably some truth to that.  Time outs do work - they are just more work for the parent because they require more repetition to get the small child to get the point.  Today I just decided to get more creative with the punishment - thus the time out and the writing.  Entropy needs to practice her writing and spelling anyway so we were able to kill two birds with one stone.

Thanks for reading....
