Scene: Ben and I were walking down the stairs and he started hopping.
Me: Please don't hop on the stairs. You need to walk.
Ben: (Continues hopping)
Me: (More sternly) Stop hopping on the stairs. You need to walk down.
Ben: (Screams) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: (Walks away, because often that's a very effective way to make Ben behave. He does not like to be alone. Ever.)
Ben: (Walks down the rest of the stairs, comes to me and gives me a hug) I'm sorry I yelled at you, Mom.
Me: (Heart melts)
