This happened a few weeks ago. The kids are having a funtime playing with their mom. I enter the room, which usually sets off the anxiety for Vian.
Vian: I don’t need you, appa.
Yoshi: That’s not very nice.
Vian: Go away, appa.
Yoshi: Can you say something nice to appa?
Vian: Appa, can you pleeease go away?
Me: Thank you! That’s much better.
