worst time out

Lately the baby has been climbing up on a chair and shaking a lamp. Raising my voice to her has only resulted in her maniacal laughter. Thus I've been forced to resort to time out in hopes she'll learn what's not acceptable in this family. The only place I can put her is in her playpen. Even though it is filled with toys, she screams like I've stuck her in the hot house from Cool Hand Luke. Soon I'll have to torture her with cake and ice cream.
