Apologize or face the consequences...

Luca's trying to construct a tower out of Mega-Bloks. Dash is thwarting him at every crucial, block-placing moment, and swatting at Luca in the process. I tell Dash to apologize - as if, since the only words he knows are mama and wow-wow (dog in baby portuguese) - to which Dash responds with one well-placed, strategically brilliant swipe at the carefully constructed Mega-Blok masterpiece. Said swipe brings the tower down...and Luca says, in a very calm and reasonable voice, bless his patient little heart, "Dash...that is NOT apologizing."
