It's a play on words. The joke is that "altitude" sounds like "attitude." Sometimes people might say that a person has a "bad attitude." "Altitude" is the height at which a plane is flying above the Earth's surface below it.

The pun is a wordplay. In theory, a child would be sent to their room for their "bad attitude".
