What did she call Sean? Ok I will let you know the answer SEANY like MADDY.
"For the rest of that day I would hear Seany wandering around the house." (p.270).
"Seany arrived in the early hours of the morning and positioned himself towards the middle of our bed, with me and Gerry then squeezed together on one side." (p.277).
9 May
"Seany is a big soft 'Mummy's boy' which is nice." (p.304).
Yes, and?
How do you know that at almost four years old Sean decided he preferred to be called Sean or indeed Seany, this really is a ridiculous argument.
Children like to put their foot down sometimes and get some control, Madeleine was probably learning how to spell her name and decided that she preferred to be called Madeleine. That doesn't mean she didn't allow herself to be called Maddy outside of the home. Madeleine may have been too shy to start with at the crèche to say she preferred Madeleine and just said what everyone called her outside of the home.
How you come up with a devious reason the McCann's would lie yet?
