Sorry Not Sorry?

After intentionally splashing paint water in my face after a rousing painting session:

Me: That was not nice. You intentionally splashed the paint water at Mommy! What do you say?

Little L: I'm sorry Mommy.

Me: Do you mean that?

Little L: No. (Observes my expression). Mommy is not happy. You do not look happy. 

Me: No, I'm not. It did not feel nice to have water splashed at me after we had so much fun painting. 

Little L: I want to give Mommy a hug. 

Mommy: You can hug me after you apologize.

Little L: I'm sorry Mommy.

Me: Do you mean it?

Little L: Yes.

Me: Are you going to splash me again? 

Little L: No. I want to hug Mommy.

Me: Okay, you can hug me now.

Little L clings to me with a big bear hug, then laughs again and says: Yay! Mommy is happy now!

And proceeds to crawl around the floor spreading paint water everywhere. *sigh*
