It Was a Three-Year-Old's "Barbaric Yawp"

Yesterday, the Moose was acting up at the dinner table. As a result, I put him in time out. As he was already in a dinner chair, all I did was pulled the chair away from the table where he couldn't reach anything, so he ended up sitting behind me. As he railed against his being in time out, he showed his dissatisfaction by taking off one of his socks and throwing it at the back of my head.

For me, the hardest part of being a parent is being an authority figure, which means when things like this happen, I have to hide the fact that I'm giggling like an idiot.
