Was It Really Worse Than Sugar Coated Strawberries?

mini-Holdinator #1: Daddy, will you open this fruit snack cinnamon roll for me [in case you require a translation: fruit roll-up]?
Me: No. You haven't had your dinner yet. I'll open it after you eat your dinner.
mini #1: DON'T TELL ME, DADDY!
Me: Look, I'll find you something to eat, then you can have it.
mini #1: Mormor [translation: my mom], will you open it?
My Mom: Your dad said not until you eat some dinner.

mini #1 leaves the room and has this conversation with my younger brother who's not a dad yet but will be in October-ish

mini #1: Will you open this for me?
My Brother: I don't think I'm supposed to.
mini #1: Just do it!
My Brother: But I think your dad would get mad.
mini #1: Just don't tell him.
My Brother: (takes the fruit roll-up from mini #1 and tears the end of the wrapper just a little): Look, I won't open it for you.
mini #1: Thanks (opens the foil the rest of the way).

they both come back into the room; the fruit roll-up is gone

My Mom: Where's the fruit roll-up?
mini #1: (looking very smug) I ate it.
