[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two year old pulled off 4-5 small leaves off a very large, very old plant in my in-laws house. FIL who is early 80s got very angry and said you are a bad boy. I guess it's fine. But it just really rubs me the wrong way. My son looked so hurt and even repeated it saying I'm not a bad boy. Anyway, I guess no big deal. But I wonder if there is a polite response to suggest that he should reprimand for behavior and not call him bad in general [/quote]

You can tell him but, if he is 80's he probably won't remember.  That is what he was told as a kid and it is what he probably believes.  Sure, it isn't the correct way but, I'm sure we will do something wrong when we are grandparents.  How often do you see him?  If it is not often I wouldn't say anything.  If it is more often I would be on top of kid so he doesn't do those types of things that annoy Grandpa.  Then he won't be called bad!

Still wouldn't say anything because it will be a waste of time.[/quote]
