A Funny Thing That Anna Does (but I don't laugh)

Like other little ones, from time to time Anna will put something in her mouth that she shouldn't. A button, a paper clip, a rock she's found, that kind of thing. So, I get after her of course, tell her to take whatever it is out of her mouth, and if she puts it in her mouth again then I take it away from her. So now when I say this, Anna will take the object out of her mouth (good girl) and then quickly put it up to her ear, like she's going to put it in her ear instead. She also gives me a little smile as if to say "see, it's not in my mouth!!" Hard not to laugh but I say "fine, put it in your ear, just don't put it in your mouth!"
