Bobby wants to play with the ball that Aia has. He’s waiting for Aia to finish, and it becomes his turn to play with the ball.
Look. Bobby is waiting for his turn.
Sometimes, it’s too hard for Bobby to wait. He therefore takes the ball from Aia. “That’s MINE”, Bobby yells. Aia starts crying.
Look. Aia is crying because Bobby took the ball. It wasn’t Bobby’s turn yet.
