Short Story

I don't know where kids learn things. I know I've mentioned before that seemingly overnight Alex acquired this big attitude. Today Erica was over and she watched my kids for a little bit while I finished a project. Well inevitably Andrew and Alex got in a squabble about something and Alex pushed Andrew down. Erica looked at Alex and sent him to timeout. Well, he looked right at her and stated authoritatively, "Well, my mommy not here!" Erica has been putting his behind in time out for over a year so I have no idea what he was thinking. He was then escorted into time out to serve his two minute sentence.
