Rapidly Learning to Work the System

Ariel: "Mom-my, Elan's not sharing his to-oy!"
Me: "Elan, that's not very nice. You should give your brother a turn."
Elan: "Well, he didn't share his toy penguin with me this morning - the one that walks and talks? I asked him Please Ariel can I play with your toy and he just said 'NO!' and he took it away from me."
Me [under my breath]: G-d, I hate that thing. [Out loud:] "Is that true, Ariel?"
Pause.
Ariel: "No, it's just that I didn't share it because I take-ded it away from Elan and I turn-ded it off because it was giving Mommy a headache. THAT's da reason what I was flinking."

Hey, no argument there.
