Time Out!

So time outs with Ethan have always been a difficult thing. He has never responded very well to them, but I still use them occasionally. As he has gotten older he has learned to bargain with me. He is always saying "okay mom, I'll make a deal with you. I will do ____ and then ____ will happen." Today he went over the top and made me really think that time out must not be much of a punishment. We were driving home from church and Eric let him roll his window down. Before I knew it he had his foot sticking all the way out the window. I promptly asked him to put his foot back in and he responded with, "I'll make a deal mom, I will stick my foot out the window and then when we get home I will have a time out." I guess some things are just worth the punishment.
