The First Time Out

Yesterday, Thing 1 and Thing 2 were being bad. They kept getting into things they weren't supposed to and throwing toys around. Well, we had put Thing 1 in time out for these things and thought it was about time that Thing 2 start time out as well. (He can be the instigator at times.) Thing 2 was hitting the dog's cage with a toy (the dog was in the cage, by the way). The Mr. told him repeatedly to stop; however Thing 2 just looked at him and, very defiantly, began banging on the dog's cage again. So The Mr. sat Thing 2 in the corner. Thing 2 had a very confused look on his face. He sat there for a few seconds and then just got up. The Mr. sat him back down in the corner. This is when Thing 2 realized he was in trouble. He then began crying! The Mr. and I had difficulty containing our giggles as he just looked so cute sitting there all sad because he was in time out.
