Don't call me Pia

"Stop calling me Pia!", screamed Pia.  "I don't want you to call me Pia!"

Daddy: Why not?

Pia: I just don't want you to call me Pia.

Daddy: Why not?

Pia: There's no why!

Daddy: (poor attempt at humor) Should we call you....turkey?

Pia: No!

Daddy: Don't you like your name?

Pia: I like...but I don't want you to call my name when you're angry.

It seems we've been calling out her name using a stern voice far too many times.  But she doesn't respond until the seventh call, so what can you do?
