1) A child comes up with an idea. The parent puts an end to the idea because of it's potentially dangerous and/or destructive side effects.
2) The child is inspired to perform their idea in an alternative space, reestablishing their initial desire.
3) The child decides to go halfsies on their idea. It's not completely what they pictured, but could be assumed as acceptable to their well-meaning guardian.
4) The halfsies idea is a no-go. Both parties attempt to reason with each other.
5) The adult returns from a brief second of distraction to discover a child beaming with pride - their feat accomplished, their calculations BANG-ON.
6) The adult hides any ounce of amusement and gives the child a look of disapproval. The child decides to cover their face, well aware of its 100% success rate during hide and seek with Mom and Dad.
