This story deals with the sensitive subject of a child having the right to refuse hugs and kisses from an adult, in this particular case a relative. Equally important is that a child learns when to keep a secret. Some secrets are fun, but secrets about unpleasant things should never be kept from a parent. In this story Angus's mother believed him without question and did not get angry. This is important as children have been found to be protective of adults and did not want to cause upset by telling them the truth. This is especially true in the case of sexual assault, as children very rarely lie about it. It is also obviously important that the child has the confidence to tell the parent further 'secrets'.
