Conversation with a 3 year old

(background: Kid3 is sitting in time out because he punched Kid2. Boys. Sigh.)

Kid3: "Mama, Kid2 is hitting me." (Kid2 is in the other room playing with the baby)
Me: "Did Kid2 really hit you or do you just want him to be in trouble too?"
Kid3: "I want him in trouble too."
Me: "well that's not okay. You need to tell the truth."
Kid 3 considers this for a minute.
Kid3: "Mama, I tell truth. I want Kid2 in time out instead. I done in time out. Time out is not fun."

Points for honesty, little man.
