I have a reputation

Thursdays are my afternoon with Jaylee by myself. She has a lot to say and many questions to ask.

Walking down the street:
"Can I say sucker?"
Well, how are you going to use it in the sentence?
"SUUUUckkkker!!!"
Well, do you know what it means?
"Yeah, like when I want a sucker."
Ahhhh, so I explain that you would say it if you fooled one of your friends and they believed you, then you would call them a sucker.
"Oh, yeah, can I do that!?"
As I continue and start to dive into the conversation about how Pink might not be the best music for her to listen to at this age she interrupts:
"Can we change this CONGREGATION?"
Excuse me?
"I want to talk about something more fun."
Well, then the word would be CONVERSATION.
************************************************
She may also have my problem of saying directly what's on her mind:
A new little girl walked into ballet tonight and as soon as Jaylee sees her she says,
"uh, that new girl is MEAN, there is NOTHING nice about HER!"
**************************************************
Walking home after ballet she says:
"I have a bad REPUTATION on Saturday."
What?
"You are making me do the Spectacle (French for show) and now I have a REPUTATION!"
She is trying to say practice, but the word in French is REPETITION.
I explain the difference, she doesn't seem to see what the big deal is.
**********************************************
Cheers
