Kids, confronted with limitations on their computer use, can bear a disconcerting resemblance to lawyers--contesting all claims about time spent and time allotted and offering eloquent discourses on the letter of the law versus its spirit. But while they may be budding legal geniuses, we are frankly sick of arguing with them. That's why we turn to the Ticking Time Mom, a kitchen timer decked out in pipe cleaners and googly eyes to look like your kids' favorite computer ref. They set it for the agreed-upon period of time, and when the bell rings, the computer goes off. No more Mrs. Nice Guy.
