No, you didn't need to clarify anything. We all know that kids now days feel like they are "entitled" to everything and anything they want due to the way they are treated. Deny a kid anything and they run to CPS and say they are being abused and want to be taken to someplace better(been there seen that). Actually heard a variation of that from a young kid at a cell phone store in a local mall. Another kid showed up at school with a very expensive smart phone and this kid didn't want to be shown up. Mom was going to get him a basic flip phone and the kid threw a fit, it wouldn't be as good as so and so's phone, the model that he just had to have. Mom just looked at him and said "If you want a phone, I'll buy you this. Otherwise, you do without." When the kid heard that, he looked around, saw mall security and started screaming to get the guard's attention. When the guard came running over, the kid claimed she was trying to "kidnap" him and she was handcuffed and taken to the security office. Needless to say, the police and the father were both called and, when they all arrived and the truth came out, the kid ended up being taken to a juvenile facility for two weeks(at least that's what the police officer told him on the way out of the mall). Sounds to me that someone told the kid how to get his way and she called his bluff, resulting in a big scene and the kid's introduction to the juvenile legal system
