"MOH! PEESE!!"

Does "please" still count as politeness if she screams it at you?

She was quite eager to get the freeze-dried strawberries down her gullet today.

I asked her to please modulate her voice.

"Softer and slower," I said, "L-i-i-i-i-ke Th-i-i-i-i-i-s."

"MO-O-O-O-H!" she said, "P-E-E-E-E-E-E-S-E!"

I laughed, and said, "Like a dinosaur!"

This pleased her. She growled "Moh Peese!" two or three times till all of a sudden she realized–hey! I'm not actually getting any moh peese–and re-commenced to shrieking.
