Litigation

H has been doing exceedingly well in the 'politeness' department. He is the king of 'Please' and ends almost every request with a 'pease'. Such as 'peel more orange H pease'. This translates to I'd like to peel another clementine please (as the 32 that I've already peeled today haven't been enough). Anyhow, while H balances the need to make sure his family doesn't develop scurvy (he really is insistent that we all eat multiple clementines peeled personally by him), he is making forays into other realms of polite society.

For example: H toots regularly. With so much clementine derived fiber, I guess this isn't a surprise. In an attempt to not snicker uproariously every time this happens (Dad finds the mighty wind, mighty amusing), we have tried to teach H to say 'Excuse me' after he toots. The only problem... his version of 'excuse me' comes out as 'Sue Me!' every time he says it. Needlesstosay, that elicits peals (of laughter) every time.
