I have a daughter who told her brother he was "indisponsible" instead of irresponsible the other day. One son has called me a "cycle path" and told me I am "statistic". I really struggled not to laugh (he was being rather dramatic, I'm neither sadistic nor a psycopath as far as I'm aware). Kids and their muddly words are just the best fun.
