"TIME IT!"

Nora is a chatter box. She is getting to a stage where she really loves to pretend. She pretends with her stuffed animals often, Disney dolls, little critters, her brothers' Thomas and Percy toys, and often times, she will play with things we make.
We made little hearts to hang in the windows, and she started talking to them and calling them her friends. (should I be worried?)
I do LOVE watching her imagination grow, and playing right along with her!
Today, she had us laughing because of the following conversation...
Nora: "Oh, I'm sad" (she sat her self down on the stairs with a very long face and covered her eyes with her hands)
Me: "Nora, honey what's wrong, what happened?"
Nora: "TIME IT!" "Time IT!" "Horton tell Rora Time IT"
Me: "What?" "Do you mean Time out?"
Nora: "Yeah mom, Horton gave me a Time it"
Me: "oh, that isn't very nice, why?"
Nora: "All better now, Rora happy, Horton you happy?"

Obviously, Nora has not had many time outs. She doesn't really even know how to say it, which cracked me up. But, she gets the idea. We have actually never used the phrase "time out" with her. If she does something that deserves a little time away, we just tell her she needs to take a minute on the stairs. But, this must have quite an impact on her because now she is acting the whole thing out. And boy, it is quite a show.

Her latest thing is telling knock knock jokes which are somewhat amusing as well.
