Frown lines

Children have an innate ability to understand expression. Even when he was very young he understood not just sounds of different moods but also facial expressions. Recently he has started reacting to expressions, even when not vocalized.
"Ashir turn off the TV, enough of Max and Ruby" - I said.
"Ok, one last, please" (Standard negotiating tactics)
I frowned but knew that since he is going to do some letter recognition practice, it may not be the best time for confrontation.
"OK last one, after that we will do letters"
"OK..remove those lines" - he said smiling
"What lines?"
He came to me and touched my forehead
"These lines"
