me: William! Hey! Did you just hit your sister?
William: yes. I did.
me: That's a very unkind thing to do! You hurt her! Why would you do that?
William: Because...I did it.
me: William, when you hit someone it hurts and it makes them sad. You don't like it when you get hit. If Michael hit you...
William: Michael didn't hit me. I hit Ivy!
me: I know, William. I meant if Michael became angry and hit you, like you just did with Ivy, it would make you very sad. You shouldn't...
William: If Michael was going to hit me, I just run away SO FAST. He couldn't catch me, nope.
me: I think he could probably catch you.
William: Nope! I'm the fastest. I'd hide and he, he, he wouldn't get me.
me: you wouldn't know he was going to ... you know what? I just meant that you don't like to be hit. You know that it's wrong, that it hurts people, so ...
William: I'm too fast. and then , if they catch me, I'll just kick them like this and HI-YA!
me: ... William, I feel you are missing the point.
William: and if they hit me again, I'll bit them.
me: ...
William: and shoot them with my shooter blaster.
me: ...dammit.
William: because hitting is not nice.
me: Yes! Right! Hitting is not nice! just don't hit your sister, okay?
William: okay. I'm so sorry.
me: yeah, sure. go tell Ivy.
