I had never thought about that, but you're right, that could be trouble. Ian may be a wee boy but he's also not dumb, and the wrath of his mother would descend like a thunderstorm if he messed with Jonah. I suspect he would learn quickly.

Actually, I wasn't thinking so much of messing with Jonah as using it to try an get away with words he knows he shouldn't say out loud. Either way, Emelia's wrath would still be felt if she discovered it.
