Rachel seems to think that whenever she spills or drops something, it's not her fault. It's the fault of the inanimate object that spilled or dropped. (Wonder if I need to start correcting her on this?). She gives the objects a hearty scolding, which usually consists of, "no NO, chair!" "No NO, applesauce!" etc.
Tonight she got mad at a measuring cup after she spilled some water she was trying to pour into it.
"No NO cup!" she said. "You BAD! I take you into my room for a TIMEOUT!"
"Um, how long are you going to give the cup a timeout, Rachel?" I asked.
"Two hours and three hours," she said.
"That seems like an awful long time for a timeout, sweetie," I said. "Are you sure you want to do that?"
"Yes!" she said firmly.
Heaven help us if she becomes a circuit court judge.
