I might like the song a little better if it occurred earlier in the show, though don't ask me where that possibly might be. And I think you are on the right track with the age complaint; I would go farther and say that there's no particular indication that Petra is old enough to have the "life experience" necessary. I could almost see Charlotte singing this song instead -- though obviously it would take some kind of major setting up. Has there ever been a production of ALNM that used "Silly People" instead of/in addition to "The Miller's Son?" Honestly I think it's superior both as a stand-alone song and in context. I'll go out on a limb and say the song even could be given to Petra...
