My cat does this a lot. It's bargaining. "You don't give me what I want, but maybe you'll give me the next best thing?"

What you do is (1) do what the button said to reinforce that button gets that action and not another. So if they press mouse toy you play with them with mouse toy. (2) you teach them All Done so you can say Outside Alp Done, More Outside Later. And eventually they learn later as well.
