As I was preparing lunch, my two-year-old best girl was demonstrating some rather ugly behavior. I put her in her crib for a few minutes as a punishment and to enable me to finish the lunch preparations. The following conversation ensued when I went to get her out:

Mom: What do you say to Mommy?

Best Girl (penitently): Thank you.

Mom: No, you need to tell Mommy that you are sorry for acting ugly in the kitchen.

Best Girl: Sorry Mommy...and yes, sir!

I just had to laugh! At least she was trying!
