They're smarter than we think.


Ben got mad at Emma.
Emma's hands flew to her face and she wailed. He didn't hurt her half as badly as you might think by the way she was crying. Emma has, shall we say, a flair for the dramatic? Anyway, I took Benny aside and began to scold. In my extreme sternness I ordered that he apologize.
"Are you sorry for hurting Emma?"
"Um....hehe....um.....yes...?"
"Are you going to go tell her that you're sorry?"

*Ben thinks for a minute*

"What happens if I say no?"
