Honor your mother (Posted on 2003-05-26) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A woman tells her children to do something, but just one boy obeys.
The woman says something to him, and he stomps away, sits down, and sulks.

What happened?

A little dose of reverse psychology? | Comment 8 of 19 |
There are a number of suitable answers, the question leaves it quite open. Trevor hit on one point, the other could be she was using reverse psychology. IE "Fine, eat all the cookies, I don't care." and the boy may have, getting him the crappy treatment.

Also, the reference to "boy" could mean she has a daughter and said something like "One of you children needs to put on this dress." The boy, having a questionable sexuality, may have been put down for this.

There are many possiblilities, I await the answer.
