We imagine having Adele mad at us as a lot like having Mary Poppins mad at us: She will whip out her carpet bag, yank out a six- foot lamp, thwomp you on the head with it and then force feed you cod liver oil.

"There, now," she would coo, "a little chastising goes a long way. Now TAKE...YOUR...MEDICINE!!!"

And that's the scenario basically everyone was hoping for when Adele appeared to be giving the convicted RiRi beater a right good tongue lashing in a photo taken during the Grammy's after Brown refused to stand along with everyone else when his rival Frank Ocean won a coveted statue.

But, unfortunately, that isn't what happened.

According to the Daily Mail, Adele was actually having a pleasant discourse with Brown at the time the shot was snapped. But they aren't inferring it via their nuanced understanding of the British mind.

Twitter told them.

In a Feb. 13 twitter exchange between the "Rolling in the Deep" idol and the formerly popular R&B star, the two rectify the public's sadly inaccurate perceptions of what went down on Grammy night.

Chris Brown and I were complimenting each other in that photo actually!

Chris Brown said some stuff back. But, whatever. Boo.

We'd rather just keep Adele in our minds as a forgiving (but also bludgeoning) angel voiced British nanny.
