@hawkeye10,
That shows way more intentionality than is indicated by odessitka's account.
My kid is generally very respectful and obedient, she listens and does what she's supposed to and doesn't do what she's not supposed to do. (Generally.) She sometimes just doesn't quite comprehend what's going on in the moment though, and will drag her feet. I can easily imagine her in this situation being involved in her surroundings and, not SEEING anything obviously emergency-ish (the adult was fine, the kid was fine, it was all potentialities and preferences) just not really getting it at first.
That's not a power play, that's an 11-year-old brain.
