“Sweety, you can’t keep locking yourself in here watching TV.”

“And you have a ring in your mouth. If you choke, how will I help you?”

My little one was locked in “our” bedroom watching TV. Again. This time while chewing on a ring.

“Come down. Finish your dinner.”

“No”.

Her lips curl in angry frustration. Ring finally out.

“Come on . And don’t put things in your mouth”.

“No.”

“Fine. Close the door, and put another ring, and may be a coin in your mouth too. That’ll teach you.”

I pretend to leave.

“Can I watch the TV then?”
