He will like it though. He's saying those words because he can command an adult to take their hands off him AND he gets the bonus of some one to one each time. You could be talking about dental surgery afterwards and it will go into his brain the same. He gets the adult got. That's what he's after.
It changes the matrix of the situation from his consequence for disobeying to an adult being put in the hot seat and then intense one to one. It is brilliant BUT he didn't invent it. Many lil creeps before him have tried the projection deflection. He's just been successful enough to try it on someone other than family.
Nan-
I have to tell you that I sometimes didn't get what you were saying until someone directed me to a couple of your Youtube videos. That put things into a different perspective for me, because "in person" you come off much sweeter than how your posts could be read. You have a very sunny, friendly way of saying things, but in writing, that can easily be missed.
