End of innocence

Scenario: Elliot and Tate are playing in the living room, Mom is doing something else but keeping an eye on things. Tate starts playing with a toy that Elliot wants.

Response: Elliot falls over on purpose, sometimes metres away from Tate, and exclaims "Tate crash, Tate boom."

Expected Result: Mom will think that Tate pushed Elliot over to get the toy that he has and Elliot will get the toy back through the aid of his mother.

Actual Result: Mom is too smart and thinks it is kind of funny that her son so obviously fell over on purpose.
