Eli, eli.  You need to speak English a little better.  What's your native
language?  If it's spanish please consider this:

Cuando una persona se dice "silly" en inglais, no estan refiriendo
precisamente a la palabra "tonto" ni a "bobo".  La palabra se refiere en una
manera apacible a alguien quien es equivocado sobre las intenciones de algo.
No es un insulto.

If it's on of the Cyrillic languages I'll try to find the write word, but
I'm still learning them, so I don't transliterate very well.  In any case,
the point is that "silly" is not a grave insult.  It does not mean "stupid"
or "foolish" as such.  It's a much milder word.  I apologize for offending
you, but you said something that was a little unreasonable from any
standpoint, thus the phrase, "No, silly."  It was not a reflection upon your
intelligence.  :-)
