A six-year-old comes crying to his mother because his little sister pulled his hair.
"Don't be angry," the mother says, "your little sister doesn't realize that pulling hair hurts."
A short while later, there's more crying, and the mother goes to investigate.
This time the sister is bawling and her brother says,
"She knows now."
