Just as in the story when he repeated the act of messing up the steps due to the laughter, people respond the same way. Children will act silly for hours if the laughs keep rolling, but the minute the audience loses interest is the minute their act ends. It can be fun for a while, but it only teaches the child that acting wrong is encouraged since it makes friends and family happy. They will not be happy when it becomes an every day ordeal. The child will become confused as to why they are in trouble today for what was promoted by being laughed at yesterday. If it had been discouraged, it is plausible they would have avoided misbehaving altogether, or they would understand why they are now
