Fiona Knows All About Time-Out

Nonna typed this into one of the comments, but it's really a post on its own, so I'm promoting it here. Speaking of which, anybody who wants to post something Fiona-related here should just let me know.

So Mom and Dad have definitely been impressing Fiona with the "Power or Time-Out."

When they visted this Christmas we had a wonderful time playing with our exceptionally bright and well-behaved grandchild! One day, Pop had a small plastic toy of Marvin the Martian that had a little projectile that it shot

While Nonna and Fiona were playing together, Pop was teasing Nonna and shot it toward her…since Fiona was there, Nonna told him that it was dangerous and he was naughty—meanwhile Fiona is watching all this take place--wide-eyed.

A little while later Pop was upstairs doing something and Fiona asked where he was and Nonna told her Pop was in “timeout” and said it loud enough so he knew what was going on.

Fiona went upstairs and and said, "Pop, do you know why you are in time-out?" Pop responded, "yes--I shot the stick at Nonna." Fiona tells him "now you have to go downstairs and tell Nonna that you're sorry and you won’t do it again." Then she accompanied him while he apologized and then I guess she released him from timeout!!
