“Quieres que lo* ponga?”

“Okay, Birdy, ya lo puse.”
“Puse. Gra-sas.”
(Ten minutes pass.)
“Mamá, wheel broken. Pongo?”
“Ahora ponlo tú.”
“Ponlo?”
“Sí, tú ponlo, Isaias.”
(He puts the wheel back on.)
“Mira, Mamá! Wheel!”

“Sí, lo pusiste. You put the wheel on!”
. . . . “Poot?”
*Sticklers for Spanish grammer: yes, "wheel" in Spanish is "rueda" or possibly "llanta," both feminine, and thus "la." All English nouns in Spanglish, however--at least in Alonso-Ponikvarian Spanglish--are masculine: "el wheel," thus "lo". You're welcome.
