The other day, I was trying to clean the floor of my living room which like always was strewn with A-juniors toys. He was busy drawing.
Me: A, can you please clean up your toys?
No response.
Me[slightly higher tone]: A, Did you not hear? Please clean up your toys...
No response.
Me[trying to keep cool]: A, please put away your toys, and if you do it neatly enough I shall put on a NICE movie for you.
No response, slight tilt of head.
Me: A, I REALLY want you to put away your toys neatly. I will switch on a NICE movie for you...
Looks up, thinks something, says, "Mama, can you put on a BAD movie for me now?"
New models are definitely smarter....
