Major K

There are a few things my almost-3-year-old nephew doesn't understand about life.

For instance, a) Why doesn't Anna talk, walk or play like a big kid? b) Why can't Anna have the tortilla chip he snuck her? And most importantly, c) Why does Anna get to 'spit' when he gets timeout for doing the same?

As most parents know, babies go through a stage when they 'raz'. In an adult's eyes, it's really cute. In this toddler's eyes, it's spitting.

Yesterday, we were sitting at my Mom and Dad's house when Uncle Brandon razzed at Anna to get a chuckle from her. Kyler whipped his head around, scoldingly looked at Anna, then said, "You get timeout for that, Anna."

We laughed.

His daddy then admitted to his fault. Immediately thereafter, Kyler shook his finger at the offender and sent him to timeout. Brandon obliged.

The funnest part: Kyler told his Daddy, "You sit there. Don't move. You get up, I spank you. Papa and Tara will spank you too. Don't touch that wall. Face forward. When you done, you say you're sorry."

After apologizing and laughing at authoritarian K, we made sure not to 'spit' or make any false moves. None of us wanted to sit in the naughty chair or experience the wrath of Kyler's corporal punishment.
