As I was shouting for DS to get the ring (not really noticing who was in
the 
ring) then going to get the ring, the 10 yo did know we needed the ring
was 
telling the child we needed it back.  She did not move to get the ring off

her.  She did have time for that, but no, I did not stand there to wait. 
I 
told the child nicely that I needed it back and took it off because she
was 
not budging, like I would have done for my kids and would have expected of

others (but then I would have removed it before the situation had to occur

anyway).
