Punishment

Me: Noah I told you to stand in the corner. Now get in that corner until I tell you to come out!
Noah: But my Daddy doesn't make me stand in the corner for this long.
Me: Well Daddy isn't here now is he?
Noah: No, but I wish...
Me: Noah, don't you dare say you wish your Daddy was here instead of me!
Noah: I wasn't even going to wish that.
Me: Then what were you wishing for?
Noah: I wished you were more like my Daddy.

AAKK! What to do? Where does brutal honesty cross the line to just having a smart mouth and how do I encourage one while discouraging the other?

There is no changing Noah! He is one of a kind! Good luck with that one!
