Jadon was showcasing to Evangelina his new AP Computer Science project which involved some visuospatial task. Apparently, when users accomplish the task, Jadon programmed the computer to praise them with a "You got it!"
Evangelina was not only unfazed, but even discouraged by the intended compliment. Apparently for her, she associated "You got it!" with Dad's half-sarcastic declarations (often on my way out of the room) whenever the kids would misbehave and "earn" themselves some unwanted negative consequence to be revealed at some future occasion.
