The meaning of an apology

Nidhi is jumping on the floor yet again, inspite of being told several times that it disturbs the people in the flat downstairs

Mummy (with a lot of restraint): Don't do that.

3 yr old: I'm sorry, I wont do it next time.

M (beginning to explain again why she shouldn't): See if you jump, the aunty downstairs....

3yo: No, stop talking.

M: What?

3yo: Stop talking, because I said sorry.
