In the culture of Samoa, telling someone to go and eat chicken shit is an insult and can warrant a fine from the council of chiefs.
But a grandma telling her grandson that if he didn't work hard an alternative would be to eat chicken shit to survive was not an insult but an expression of her love. It was a wise incentive and a challenge for Tusi to work hard at school and on their plantation and to respond to the bullying and mocking he encountered as a child in a fruitful, peaceful and warding way.
The council of chiefs did not fine Grandma for her words because she was innocent and wise.
