"Right Now"

I'm teaching my nephew the concept that "Right Now" means at this exact moment or in the three seconds following it, and *not* sometime within the next half hour, if ever.

He's learning it quite well, and has also learned that if he makes a fuss about it, he doesn't get to keep doing whatever it was he was doing when he gets back and if he doesn't make a fuss, he gets to resume his former activites with all due speed as soon as whatever thing that came up is resolved.

*sigh* Motherhood. Aunthood, rather.
