Over Heard at the Park

Three siblings were having some conflict. After a bit of unsuccessful intervention by their mother, mom said, "Do I have to do another team building exersize with you?"

"No, mom" one child said. Another said, "Please not another three legged race."

It's interesting how anything can be turned into punishment.

Like "time out". Time out started in the 70's and it was for parents to count to 10 to enable them to calm down.

Now it is often use as a threat, a form of punishment.
