Say what?

So I was talking to Austin and Tara shortly before dinner the other day about how mama birds feed their babies. I think I was trying to get them to appreciate whatever I was cooking for us. They were sitting on the couch together, watching TV, and I leaned into the room and said, you know, mama birds chew up their food and spit it in their babies' mouths. They both looked at me. I was going for the gross factor. Then Tara said, "That's regurgitation." Crystal clear, every syllable. We all started laughing. That's right, I said, how do you know? "My teacher."

So the next morning I asked her teacher about it. She confirmed that indeed, they have been studying mammals, birds and fish, and regurgitation was discussed in the lesson plan.

Well I guess you never know what's going to stick in their minds. Even a 5-syllable word for a little girl in pre-school whose only language two years ago was Russian.
