Observation Begins
Jo: " "

Becky-Sue: "We need to buy a birthday present for your cousin."

Becky-Sue puts the triplets onto the Naughty Couch
Jo: "It wasn't long before the triplets started kicking up and refused to eat their lunch."

Becky-Sue: "I want you to eat your lunch, and then you can go play."

Andrew: "NO! I HATE TURKEY SANDWICHES!"

Becky-Sue: "Andrew, do not shout at the table. If you do that again, then you're going to the Naughty Couch."

[Lilly screams in Becky-Sue's face]

Becky-Sue: "Lilly, do not shout at mommy like that."

[Lilly spits in Becky-Sue's face]

Madison: "NO!"

[Madison throws her plate on the floor]

Jo: "Madison! That is not acceptable."

[Madison throws a tantrum]

[Becky-Sue takes Andrew, Lilly and Madison to the Naughty Couch]

Becky-Sue: "You three are staying on that couch until I tell you to get up."

[Becky-Sue takes Lilly's Monster High Rochelle Goyle doll, Madison's Abbey Bominable doll, and Andrew's Big Bang Pegasus Metal Fusion Beyblade and puts them all into the toy time-out box]

Jo: "However, Lilly wasn't giving up without a fight. She raided the fridge multiple times. The other triplets just stayed on the couch."

[Lilly escapes the couch, goes into the kitchen and starts chewing snake lollies]

Becky-Sue: "No, we're not having snake lollipops, now let's go back to the Naughty Couch."

[Becky-Sue takes the snake lollipops from Lilly and takes her back to the Naughty Couch]

Lilly: "GIVE ME MY LOLLIES!!!!"

Becky-Sue: "No. No lollies while you have to stay in time-out."

[Becky-Sue puts the snake lollies back in the kitchen cupboard]

Lilly: "Poopie Head!"

Jo: "Just ignore that."

Lilly: "GIVE ME MY LOLLIES NOW, POOPIE HEAD!!!"

[Becky-Sue starts to lose her patience]

Becky-Sue: "Lilly, when I say 'No lollies,' I mean 'No lollies,'"

[Lilly smacks Becky-Sue's face]

Becky-Sue: "Stop it, you do not hit mommy. That is not nice."

[Becky-Sue confiscates Lilly's Midnight violet Nintendo 3DS]]

[Lilly escapes the Naughty Couch, dashes into Becky-Sue's bedroom and watches Sonny With a Chance on TV]

Becky-Sue: "Please turn off the TV now. You cannot watch Sonny With a Chance if you are in timeout."

Lilly: "NO!"

[Becky-Sue switches off the TV and puts Lilly back to the Naughty Couch]

Jo: While Andrew and Madison did their 7 minutes, Lilly was still resisting.

Becky-Sue: "Madison, Andrew, you both had to come to the Naughty Couch because you were both being very naughty by acting up at the kitchen table. This is where you will be if you do that again, and I want an apology."

Madison and Andrew: "Sorry."

Becky-Sue: "Thank you. You may now get up."

Snack Jar Technique

Lilly the Fighter

[Becky-Sue puts Lilly back to the Naughty Couch and walks away with no conversation]

Lilly: "GIVE ME BACK MY PEANUT BUTTER CUPS, YOU [bleep]!!!"

Becky-Sue: "Lilly was the most dominant and aggressive amongst the triplets, and she still would not go down without a fight, no matter how many times I put her back on the Naughty Couch."

[Lilly is now eating a Hershey's milk chocolate bar]

Becky-Sue: "Give me the chocolate bar. You are not allowed to have that while you have to stay in time out."

[Lilly eats the whole chocolate bar]

Lilly: "There. All gone."

Becky-Sue: "Since you didn't listen to me when I told you to give me the chocolate bar, you now bought yourself an extra 7 minutes of timeout. Also, you lost another toy."

[Becky-Sue confiscates Lilly's Opretta doll and puts Lilly back on the Naughty Couch]

Lilly: "You're mean, Mommy!"

[Becky-Sue walks away with no conversation]

Becky-Sue: "No, Lilly. We're not having lemonade, now give me the can because you still have to stay in time-out."

[Becky-Sue takes the can from Lilly and puts Lilly back on the Naughty Couch]

Jo: "Finally, Lilly gave up and she stayed on the Naughty Couch and did her time. Becky-Sue's presistance paid off. Or so we thought."

Becky-Sue: "Apologize to Mommy."

Lilly: "NO! Not until you give me my lemonade!"

Becky-Sue: "First, apologize to Mommy, then you can have your lemonade."

Lilly: "SORRY!!!"

Jo: "Lilly, you shouldn't shout like that. You have to be sincere and mean it. Now give your mommy a nicer apology."

Lilly: "Sorry, mommy."

Becky-Sue: "Thank you. Now give me a hug and a kiss."
