It's not at all what you think, I just have to share the conversation Avery and I had last night regarding the subject. Let me set the tone:
Our living room where earlier we had been working on his paragraph about which President he would like to be and why. He chose President Lincoln.
Me: Avery, hand me the remote, please.
Avery: Uhhhhhh, I don't want to.
Me: I didn't ask you if you wanted to, I just asked you to hand it to me. (mind you, I'm actually closer to the remote than he is)
Avery: I'm not your slave.
Me: No, Avery, you're not, but (voice rising) I said hand me the remote! Now hand it to me.
Avery: **pondering** I don't have to because Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves so that means I don't have to be yours.
Me: ...........
Need I say more?
