When I picked Anna up from school on Wednesday she was on her way to Time Out. Her teacher Miss Romy proceeded to tell me, in her Chilean accent, that it was because Anna didn't want to come inside from the playground, and she "used her influence on the rest" to encourage them to resist holding on to the walking rope to come inside. (Not sure if they all ran away or what they actually did to resist...)
Did you just say "her influence on them?" Don't you mean "used her leadership skills"? LMAO!! Actually, it's her other co-teacher, Miss Dawn, the ex-psychologist (who used the word "recalcitrant" to explain Anna's previous bad behavior) who would have put it that way...
Trying to look mortified for her behavior (again) I agreed with Miss Romy that Anna needed to serve her Time Out before we left. Because I was there, Anna was on her way to a bigger fit than necessary so I ended up in Time Out with her while she clutched my hand and we both stared at the two-minute hour glass timer.
Frankly I could use a Time Out more often.
