Mom, we’re bored! We need something to play with!!! Can you toss us the little green space man?
Okay, Got it. Thanks, Mom!!!
Oops! Looks like we’re sharing!!!
Okay, Morrie, my turn!!! Morrie? Stop hogging the green man!
Okay. Time for older brother to show you some manners!
Mom: Guys, stop. It’s getting a little too rough. Diego, stop!!!
That’s enough you guys. Morrie, you’re on time out. “But Mom . . .” (Whines a bit. Looks longingly at Diego–and freedom beyond the bars.)
Okay, Morrie. Here’s a toy for you to play with. Your favorite.
You can’t resist tempting Diego with your toy? If you put it so close to the bars, you know what’s going to happen. Right?
Morrie, are you trying to taunt Diego or tempt him or both?
Diego falls for the bait.
And, as you might have guessed, Morrie snatches it back just as Diego is about to maneuver it through the bar. Bad, Morrie, teasing your brother. Now you’ve earned your isolation!!!! (But what does he care? He has “the” toy–all the more precious since his brother wants it, too!)
