Question

How do you discipline a child when you can't keep a straight face?I was sitting at the computer trying to get some work done, all the while taking care of Brother, Baby Girl & Cousin H. Baby Girl was being a stinker and would not get along with the other two, who for as young as they are, were trying really hard to get along with her. I kept telling Baby Girl to, "be nice" and "take turns," but that was not going anywhere. So I threw out my big shallow threat, "Baby Girl, you better stop that or you are going to get a butt kickin'." She looked at me, (not scared at all) with apologetic eyes, backed up to the wall, shrugged her shoulders, put her hands in the air and said, "I not have a butt."
