This happened years ago when I was babysitting a friend's kid whose elementary school aged. We had spent most of the day inside, he watched Power Rangers for awhile before playing his Playstation. He liked to drive around in GTA.

After about an hour, I told him he should go play outside since it was such a nice day, and then I went to the kitchen to grab us bottles of water to stay hydrated. When I came out of the kitchen, he was standing on the porch outside, looking through the screen door while still playing GTA.

I told him its not what I meant, but that he wasnt wrong and did listen, so he could keep playing. I made sure to be much more specific after that. I think I still have a pic of him I sent to his dad for proof.
