The naughty step

Introducing a new location: Jones' naughty step. This is the front door to the house, and it's where Jones gets banished to whenever she's done something wrong. Of course, if she wanted to get back in again all she has to do is walk around to the blue back door where the cat flap is. But she's too busy brooding on the injustice of it all to remember it's there.

We don't have flowers in our house for this exact reason. Flowers tend to get put in a vase outside our front door, where Smudge can't get at them.
