Whenever we are out and about, and one of my kids acts up, I usually ask if they want to go to the __________jail.
Then I tell them about the awful and dark jail that the workers keep just for naughty kids.
As it is all in an attempt to get my kids to act properly, I usually can get the workers in on the ploy.
So basically my kids think there is an “Outback Steakhouse Jail”, a “Pottery Barn Jail”, and of course a “Disney Store Jail”, alongside a jail in every single establishment we have ever set foot in.
Today, at the Disney Store, I was just about to go into my jail speech.
You see, Pippi was caught stealing all of the stuffed animals off of the shelf, to make a huge mess in another part of the store.
Right after she was reprimanded for sitting in an inappropriate spot at the table.

So it began, “Pippi….you want to go to Disney Jail.”
But I let my words trail off, as I realized that my threats were going to fall on deaf ears that didn’t yet know that “jail” is supposed to be a prohibitive thing.
