Why can’t the Sully kids just listen?

If the Sully kids just listened to their parents and stayed put for once, everything would have been a whole lot easier. Which, of course, is the answer to this question. There’s no movie if the kids just listened to their parents and didn’t get in trouble a billion times. But it does get frustrating when, four or five times, Jake is like “Stay here,” they don’t, and then something goes horribly wrong. So it’s a bit of a screenwriting cheat that also gives the characters a huge flaw.
