Three what?

I'm jealous, we're always counting to five, ten, fifteen or twenty over here.

Oh, I'm feeling old now . . . What happens when you get to forty-three?

"Angry Little Kid, I am going to count to THREE and I expect you to have..."

My parents' answer was a spanking, and they only had to do it once. Ever.

We do the three count -- but my SIL counts DOWN from three. You've never seen such terror in my son's eyes as when my SIL STARTED with three, and he thought he was going to get "it."

You learned much faster than I did. I went the repeated sampling route. Maybe that is why I became a statistician.

My mother's response to this question was characteristically blunt: "I'll knock your teeth down your throat."

Of course, I knew she was kidding.

Or was she?

I asked my best friend this when his kids were young - he said he didn't know - he never ever got to three!! I was amazed!!
My own son has pushed me to three a number of times but I am stymied since he just giggles throughout timeouts...
