Already ahead of the game

Last night I was laying on Brayden's bed as we were putting him to bed.  For some reason he leaned over and bit me right on the chest.  After some quick punishment, I decided it was time to talk to him about what he did.  So I said, "Brayden, you are not allowed to bite, how about when you are about to bite someone you stop and give them a kiss, does this sound like a good idea?"  Brayden shook his head yes, but I knew I needed to reinforce this lesson.  So I asked Brayden, "so what are you going to do when you are about to bite someone?"  He responded with "bite."  So I tried to simplify the question, "when you are about to bite someone, should you bite them, or give them a kiss?"  Again Brayden responded with "bite."  Finally I said to Brayden, "when you are about to bite someone, you think you should just give them a kiss?"  He looked at me for a couple of seconds and said "yeah."  I am not sure if he meant this or not, but I feel like he knew the answer I was looking for and decided to give it to me.
