Riddle Me This, Batman

The Moose idolizes his brothers, even to the point of wanting the same punishment as they do. After one of his older brothers "earned" a timeout this morning, the Moose plopped himself on the stairs beside his big brother, smiled broadly and said, "Me timeout, too." (Only with more consonants and less vowels, or vise versa).
Knowing that the big brother needed no one near him, Old Wahoo picked up the Moose and took him to his room so he could play. But the Moose decided to misbehave, and he acted so poorly that he deserved a timeout, giving Old Wahoo a fatherhood riddle.
What would you do? "Reward" him with a timeout? Or punish him by not punishing him?
