Me: Let’s look at these 3 words: lively, livelier, liveliest. Now let’s read those words together.
6-year-old and me in unison: live-ly…live-li-er…live-li-est.

Me: It means energetic…someone with lots of energy. Like your sister. Your sister is the liveliest 4-year-old that I know. Do you know of anyone livelier than your sister?
6-year-old, after some serious consideration: Um…a rabid dog?
