kids can be really mean, I was called puss-face because I had acne real bad, one kid called me "bean" and I have no idea why - he was a real bully. Another thing they said, which they still say as grown-ups in that neck of the woods, is "that's a sin" which makes no sense at all when talking about everyday occurrences like falling down and getting hurt. It's their version of "that's a shame".
