[Avodah] The Wise Son vs the Wicked Son and the word ''you''

[Zvi Lampel]

The wicked son asks, ''What is this [korban Pesach] avodah to you (lachem)?
He is reprimanded for excluding himself from the tsibur who follow Hashem's
commands.

But the son praised as wise also (at least in the actual posuk, if not in
all versions of the dialogue) asks, ''What are the laws...Hashem commanded
you?''

Why is he not reprimanded for his choice of words?

Answers are given, but I thought of a very simple one. If, like the ben who
asks the four kushyos, these sons are preferably considered ketanim, then
the wise son is absolutely correct, and quite wise indeed, to note that it
is the parent who is commanded in the mitzva, not he.
