Put away that toy before I start throwing these out!!!!!
threats? hahahahah Isn't that a stupid threat?
Now he starts telling me to go ahead and throw it away.

I think I understand why you said "never mind". I feel that way too most of the time with my 3 yr old.

Yup. I have recently begun threatening "give me that {gum} {cookie} {breakable} {fill in the blank} or you are going to get a time out!"
So, my dear three year old plops herself down on the couch with the forbidden object and says, "Okay, mom. I'm in a time out now."
Honestly. What am I supposed to say to that?b
