The sad reality is that people never change their mind in the moment, and if they do, they won’t tell you. People are emotional creatures. His ego was 100% in defense mode. All that said, he could very well use more detergent and warmer water next time. At least as long as his parent isn’t around to see lol.
(Edit: Reading this back it feels really condescending. To be clear, I’m the same way. I think everyone is. I’m no exception. I’ve caught myself doing this after the fact.)
Yeah nah he’s taken it well in the end. You’re right though, it was ego defense. It’s funny, I recall trying to teach him and his sisters together years ago but he objected, saying it’s something he can work out for himself and I’ve reminded him a couple of times since but it’s never sunk in till this episode and he had to admit I was right about it.
