Toddler goes on hilarious rant when she's put in time out
Most of the time, being a parent is a fantastic experience. Then again, you have instances when you just want to pull your hair out. But while your toddler might be acting out, theyâre usually funny. That makes it even harder since you want to show youâre being serious while laughing on the inside.
With kids, you never know whatâs coming next. For a minute, things are fine and then their little world turns upside down. This is especially true when it comes to putting kids in time out. To them, this is the worst possible thing that could happen.
The Steve Harvey show
Although itâs now canceled, Steve Harvey was the host of a television show called âLittle Big Shots.â Heâd sit down with small children to discuss all kinds of things. But what made this show special was that he spoke to them as an adult. He also played a lot of funny video clips of kids doing the craziest things.
Grown-up attitude
It was one of these clips that got the internet all fired upâŚin a good way. In it was a three-year-old girl who was, well, letâs say, feisty. The content was of her getting in trouble at preschool and basically, telling her teacher off.
Not condoning just enjoying
Before Harvey asked his audience to watch the video, he reminded them to find the humor in it. The point wasnât to condone the childâs behavior but to show people just how funny little ones can be, especially when they feel theyâre right.
Cutest diva ever
After acting up in class, the teacher put the little girl in time out. Sometimes, thatâs the only way to calm a child down while also diffusing a situation. The last thing any teacher wants is for something to escalateâŚeven at three years old.
The conversation
Politely yet firmly, the teacher says to the child, âYouâre supposed to be back in time out. I didnât say get out. Youâre in jail and time out.â Rather than just go back as told, this girl responded with, âWell, let me tell you. Listen, Linda.â
âIâm not Lindaâ
Good try sweetie but the teacherâs name isnât even Linda. As a follow-up, she says to the girl, âMy name ainât Linda. So, you sit right there in time out, little bad, little girl.â Okay, as an adult, perhaps she shouldâve been a little kinder but at this point, she was frustrated.
Serious ranting
But that wasnât the end of it. No, this girl had more to say. âLook, let me tell you something. If I wasnât here, I would surely take a day off from you and then a day off from these kids. All around the classroom, I was done with you.â
After a little back and forth with the teacher, this three-year-old added, âWell, when I get up out of time out and go in the back, I will be glad to go home and enjoy the rest of my life.â
Harveyâs final request
After watching the video, he then asked the audience to pretend like they were sparring with someone they knew â who was drunk. That put an interesting spin on things. Regardless of which light the guests saw it in, thereâs no question this encounter is hilarious.
