My 10 year old can be quite volatile and prone to meltdowns. So I've taken to rick-rolling him whenever possible in these situations. Weirdly, it's a pretty good way of defusing a charged situation.
The line "you know the rules, and so do it" is especially good because I can build it into a counterpoint about his behavior that led to the argument. It took him a while for him to realize what I was doing, but now he knows and it's become kind of an inside joke.
So not only does it usually help calm things down, but I get to troll him.
That's amazing haha
