Gosh it's such toddler tactics isn't it? How unpleasant of them to disrupt an expensive and probably long-awaited day out for others in this way.
One of my DDs is HEAVILY into Harry Potter at the moment and waiting for the day she can go to Cursed Child. Lots of HP merch purchased this Christmas!
I'm listening ahead on audiobooks so I can ensure I'm well prepared for any issues (she's a bit young really for where she's at in the books but is VERY determined and loves the world so much and it's expanded her vocabulary so much).
I've got to the bit in the audiobooks where Tom Riddle (aka Voldemort) comes to ask Dumbledore for a job at the school. Dumbledore calls him Tom, Tom/Volde complains about this and tries to get Dumbledore to call him Voldemort and Dumbledore refuses. Very politely but the answer is a very firm no. Dumbledore knows him as Tom, recognises him as Tom and Tom is what he will call him.
It's a good example of exerting a personal boundary around a narcissist / bully. For some reason it made me think about the women on here and the fight for women's rights. We'll be having a long chat about that bit when we get there. 😁
