David appears to be quite good at understanding synonyms.
Conversations like this have been happening quite frequently in our home:
Me: "Claire - did you take David's toy away? [Claire LOVES to antagonize her brother and then pretend she hasn't done anything wrong] That wasn't very kind."
David: "Yeah. That wasn't very nice Claire."
In such conversations I've substituted words like: thoughtful/loving/caring OR have gone the other direction and described her actions as annoying/mean/etc. None of it phases David. Without a pause he always vehemently jumps in with his declaration that what she did to him "wasn't very nice".
