traits to make too much of them, whether it's less than or more than, can
exaggerate something about them too much one way or the other.
When Karl was a baby, he didn't mind being called a baby at all, even up to
3 or so. Once he didn't consider himself a baby, even talking about when he
was a baby annoys him a little (sometimes a lot) if it seems to him an
exaggeration of who he is (or sometimes maybe a preference for his babyhood)
or in any way an inaccurate picture of how he sees himself now. ;)
