I was at the department store looking at a top, when the most wonderful thing happened.
This father told his son that he was going to get a time-out because he didn't sit where he (the father) told him to.
Here's a bit of what was said:
Dad: I told you to sit there. Now you are going to get a time out
Son: That's where I told you to sit!
Mom: Excuse me, are you talking back?
Dad: No, don't worry, he's going to get a time out when we get home.
**************
It was perfect.
The mother didn't tolerate he son's misbehavior. She supported her husband as he disciplined their son.
Finally parents being PARENTS
I felt like applauding them.
