War and Peace (or "More" and "Please")...

Thomas
So the current little bit of linguistic reasoning being played out in Thomas' mind is to establish precisely what the difference is between "More" and "Please", they are being interchanged experimentally (and somewhat successfully), offered the chance to come into the kitchen to see me prepare his breakfast (on Sunday) I got a correctly applied combination of both - "More See Peeeeeze - Steps! Hup!" (as he couldn't really see what I was doing from the floor, and he knew the solution, his little set of folding steps, which he was rewarded with for being so polite)...but on most other occasions, at the moment it's (for example) "More Bilk Daddy!", "You would like some more Milk, Thomas?", "What's the magic word?"...(he thinks for a moment)...

"More"...
