Does Time Out Really Work?

I put Thomas in time out this morning because, and I quote, "I push Will." After a minute or so I went to check in on him and this is what I saw: Yep, he was reading a 1980's version of Childcraft Encyclopedia that some friends from chruch gave us.
When he saw me he opened the book and said "Say cheese, book!"
Then he closed the book and said "The End." Okay, so maybe time out isn't the proper place to be reading the encyclopedia, but it did remove him from the "Push Will" situation.

And by the looks of Will sticking out his tongue, I don't think he cared whether Thomas was reading or not.
He was just happy to have the Escalade all to himself!!!
