Just a funny kid story

I have a son in the second grade. I his music class they are learning a “big word” song. It’s second grade, remember, so the “big words” are adept, excellent, vainglorious, diminuitive, juvenile… words like that.

Anyway, we’ve been talking about so called, big words for a couple of days and I used the word, defunct. I asked him if he knew what that word meant.

He said, “Not funking working?”

Hee.

Reminds me of my fourth grader, who upon learning my husband was working on geneology, asked: “Is he studying to be a genie?”
