Lol. He's never called that to his face, he's usually called "sweetie" or "poppet" if he gets called a pet name. I've read the book about the little boy who was told he was bad so he behaved bad, but when someone called him good he started behaving! I wouldn't put a child down like that (not to their faces- talking about them to others, sure- just to get it off my chest) and he wasn't being naughty. Just misguided. It was an accident, if I thought it was malicious...
I think that UHU was named for the owl actually! I never made the connection, but I just wiki-ed it! Thanks, you learn something new every day! :mrgreen:
