Sometimes another boy comes to sit with me, when his daddy is mad with him, which is not very often. The boy sits right next to me. Once he sat exactly where I do but he did not like it there and moved along. I tried to talk to him but he would not answer. You are not supposed to talk when you are on the naughty step, so maybe that was it. It made me sad because it would have been nice to talk to someone. But he would not talk, so I just sit there and look through into the family room and at the window where all the different things happen.
I think you can change what you see through the bright window in the family room, but I do not know how. So I just watch whatever I can see through it.
After a while they always let the boy off the step, and he goes into the room with his mummy and daddy and they watch the window together, and soon everyone stops being cross and they laugh at what they see. I wish I could go in there with them, but I am not allowed off the naughty step and so I do not.
I cannot leave the step until my Daddy says I can.
It has been a long time now.
