Thinking about time-out

Yesterday I was trying to finish up a phone conversation with my mom when Griffin started his usual antics (hanging on me, hitting me in the head with a stuffed animal, AKA anything to get my attention). So when I hang up, he asked me to get him some milk. I was less than eager to meet his request because of how he acted, so I told him so. He looks at me and says, "Do I need to go in time-out and think about what I have done?". When I said "yes", he decided against time-out but he walked over to the oven and tried to set the timer. Then I heard him turn around to face the corner and say the following, "um, okay so Mimi called on the phone and I hit Mommy on the head with my hippo and then I went swipe with the giraffe, and Mommy got mad, and now I just need to say sorry. Yeah, that will work". Then he comes over to me and said, "I thought about what I did and I am sorry". So it was a little strange, but I guess he is putting more thought into time-out than I originally gave him credit for.
