When she is bad or acting up I will turn around and tell her in my mean mommy voice "that's it ,YOU are in time out!" " don't tell me no, you are IN TIME OUT!" and she feaks out about it everytime! My 6 year old thinks this is the funnies thing. It totally works though but I am sure not for long . I know this vid is old but I just had to comment, my two year old gets time outs in the car.

A step up from LOL (Laugh Out Loud). And a stone's throw from ROFLMFAO (Rolling On the Floor Laughing My Fu**ing A** Off). My 4-year-old son too throws things in the car when he loses his temper; i.e., when we don't actually stop at the park that we're passing, or when he decides his seat belt is a bit too constraining. This has led to the following rule in our family: If it's hard enough to hurt when thrown, it ain't going in the car. We keep small stuffed animals and squishy soft books to keep the driver from sustaining a concussion. As for disciplining the behavior? The fact that we let Alex know WHY we're not allowing the "fun" toys in the car ("Because you threw your American Idol microphone--that's why it can't come with us anymore") usually is sufficient. We must pick our battles as moms... ROFL is Rolling On the Floor Laughing. A step up from LOL (Laugh Out Loud). And a stone’s throw from ROFLMFAO (Rolling On the Floor Laughing My Fu**ing A** Off).

My son is too young to throw things yet, but he does manage to POOP everytime we get in the car. We get about two blocks away and I hear "grrrr" "mmmm" "ugh" (his poop noises). Never fails. I love mommy driving time. ;) ROFL! My son is too young to throw things yet, but he does manage to POOP everytime we get in the car.
