Guantanamo for Kindergarteners

Amy and I maintain a somewhat Stalinist practice - a kind of judicial review - where we confront the accused and compel him/her to admit their guilt and show contrived remorse before they are released from timeout. Tonight, Daniel adopted out hyperbole, in a way that I found succinct and very refreshing:

Me: Why did you get a timeout?

Daniel: Because I tortured Madeleine.
