Context: I had given my two older daughters a small math assignment to do in my absensents.  When I returned home they were playing video games and the work had not been done.
Speaker 1: I had to run some errands.  While gone I instructed my older daughters to complete some math assignments.
Speaker 2: I see.. did they complete them?
Speaker 1: When I returned I found them playing video games, the math work was not even attempted.  I tunred their stuff off and we did it together.
Speaker 2: Well, we were kids once too.. We can understand their point of view as well. Glad you got to spend quality time with them though
