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: Good. That’s very good. Now–
6-year-old: Mom, what’s “lively” mean?
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?
Oh goodness. That made me spurt hot coffee out of my nose.
Whoops. Sorry. That sounds like it was just awful. But I swear to God, it’s exactly what she said.
That is too cute! Kids say the darnest things!
