Me: Keegan, can you help encourage your brother to eat all his ham please.
Keegan (6): Aden! Eat all you ham or I'll break your water guns into a million pieces!
Me: KEEGAN! That's just mean!
A (4) <looks distraught>
Keegan: What?!? I wasn't really going to do it!
Me: But Aden doesn't know that! So that's why it's mean. Encouraging would be saying something like "Hey buddy, eat all your ham and we can go out and play together!"
Keegan: Well why didn't you tell me?!?! I didn't know!
Good grief.
