Reading to baby brother, forced edition

I hear Naomi, in the other room, “reading” to Sim, making up stories to go with the books she’s flipping through with him.

Then I hear this:

N:  Oh, no, Simeon!  You can’t get down!  I’m reading to you.  Listen.

A few minutes later:

N:  Simeon, stay here!  I’m reading to you!

A little bit later:

N:  Simeon, stay on the couch, I’m reading to you.  Don’t go away, you need to hear the story.

Granted, I’m happy that she’s so eager to read to her brother, since sometimes she is of the opinion that a full-length couch isn’t big enough for the both of them.  It’s just that I’m not sure Simeon is enjoying his role as her captive audience.  Emphasis on captive.
