Advice on teaching comma usage to a 2 year old?

Grammarians among you may remember the book _Eats, shoots and leaves_.

In a similar vein, Winton is throwing at least one tantrum daily over the following punctuation problem. 

He says "No Mummy do it!"

Sometimes he means: "No, Mummy do it" [ie not Daddy, not Clara]
Sometimes he means: "No Mummy do it" [ie I'll do it myself]

This is occasioning some serious communication glitches.
