Dear childerkin:
Yes, I know I am in my room talking on the phone. Yes, I see your doll lying on my floor. I will bring the doll out when I get off the phone in less than five minutes. *You* are not allowed in my room. *You* are being punished with *two* days of restriction from Mommy's room. Curling into a little meatloaf outside the door is not earning any sympathy.
Maybe now you will understand that when I say "Do not jump on the bed", it also includes climbing onto the dresser and flinging yourself onto the bed as I walk into the room to investigate the loud thumping noise.
