Love or annoyance.

Sandy is like any girl at the age of 10. She enjoys music, to which she listens constantly on Youtube, and even at times she mimics the song by singing along. She is not concern about the way her desk, where she does her homework, is kept, seemingly the messier, the better. Her bed is unmade, her clothes is all over the room and for the most part, responsibility is not part of her vocabulary.

But now others are beginning to sense that this girl-child is no longer a baby that they once knew and others will come to expect more out of Sandy. After a while the mess that Sandy made is begininng to be annoying and she will be asked to pick up after herself. So for Sandy, she realizes that being the cute cuddly baby may need to give way to the adventure into teenage years. But Sandy will try just once more to capture her babyhood.

As mom and dad begin to lay down the rules, Sandy blurbs out "I love you" and blinks her eyes three times. The mom looks at her for second and then gives in and continues to pick up after Sandy. This seemingly works well for Sandy and she soon discover a new coping tool that she can carry forth to her teenage years. 
So when dad demands that she stops playing on the computer and help her mom with the setting of the table, she calmly says "I love you".

This works well until several weeks later, the effect does not seem to take effect. The "I love you" has worn thin and reality sets in. Dad and mom catches on and sincerety makes way for annoyance. "Young lady, that doesn't work, so go do what you are told". So now Sandy must leave behind a short but happy chapter in her life and grow up.

Moral: Does love have to end with "I love you"?
