Last weekend, Sue, George, myself, Maia and Mum all went down to the Meersbrook Park Walled Garden, to have a nosy about (adults) and a run around (kids).
Maia and George were winding each other up a bit. George wouldn't let Maia win races, and Maia wouldn't let George sing the alphabet on his own. Seriously.
One exchange revealed the development of a scheming side to our Maia Miss M. She and George were running around, when she jokingly called him a "Silly Billy." This provoked a pretty strong reaction, as he howled and made a big fuss over the fact that it was Not Nice to call people names.
During his protest, Maia's face was a picture. Still, calm and totally calculating, you could almost hear the cogs whirring away.
Needless to say, for the rest of the afternoon, George was called a Silly Billy at every opportunity.
I figure, no, it is Not Nice to call people names. But I can totally see how it would be rewarding to do so after a reaction like that.
