"Apparently...."

Lizzy and Morgan were fighting while we drove across town this evening. Lexi tried to intervene when Morgan started to cry:

Lexi: "Lizzy! Did you pinch her?"
Lizzy: "No."
Lexi: "Well then why is she crying? I saw your hand by her arm."
Lizzy: "Well, my was trying to tickle her, but apparently..... um, yeah. My pinched her."
