The Time: 3 PM
The Setting: The time out corner of the dining room
The Culprit: Dexter
The Conversation:
Dexter- "Mom, Can I get out of timeout?"
Me- "No, wait until the timer goes off".
Dexter- "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Repeat the previous dialogue for the next three minutes
Dexter- "Can I get out nooooooow?"
Me- "Yes"
Dexter- "MOM, you need to say yes I can get out"
Me- "Yes Dexter, you can get out"
Dexter- "MOM, you need to say yes I can get out right now"
Me- "You can get out right now"
Dexter- "You didn't say YES"
Me- "Yes"
Dexter- (Flailing on the floor sobbing) "I just want to get out of time out"
Me- (Trying to estimate how many minutes until Nate comes home, and if anyone would notice if I open up the baking chocolate) "Buddy, just come out"
Dexter- "Thank you Mom"
30 Seconds Later
Dexter- (Sobbing AGAIN on the floor) "You didn't say you're welcome"
End Scene
