Monkey...LMAO! Great response! :)

Answer 3

No...if I had a round house...I'd just make them do laps!

Answer 4

WOW what else can you come up with? To answer your question. I don't need a corner. It's called facing the wall ^^

Answer 5

NO they will not be safer! Time outs can be done anywhere......no corner required! Poor kids! They are not safe anywhere!

Answer 6

Time outs don't necessarily have to be done in corners. It is actually advisable to use a step or specific chair or something. And i fail to see how it would be unsafe...

Thanks for the 2 points though!

Answer 10

What?!

Answer 11

No. They are safer living in a house with no kitchen so mom has no wooden spoons.

Answer 12

Even in a round house, there is room for an armless chair.

Answer 13

only if they get the belt

Answer 14

As in, "Run for the roundhouse, Nellie!!  They'll never corner you there!"

I don't know about safer but there are no corners for dust to accumulate in, so it would be healthier.  Also, they say the Devil lurks in corners, so that danger would be eliminated, too.  You may be on to something.

Answer 15

Silly question on three counts.  First...the corners of a house are 'interior' corners and couldn't hurt anybody.  Secondly, time-outs don't 'hurt' kids.  Finally, you don't usually send a child to a corner for a time out.  It's usually on a step, stair or chair.  Silly question.
