Setting: In my car, backing out of the driveway, going to story time at the library.
Mlle. Hester #2: M (Mlle. Hester #3) looks so pitiful today.
I stop and turn around to look. M is sitting in her car seat smiling like the Cheshire cat like normal.
Me: What do you mean? She looks happy. Pitiful means she looks sad.
Mlle. Hester #2: No, Mama. She's so pitiful today.
Me: She looks pretty today in her new outfit. Do you mean 'beautiful'?
Mlle. Hester #2: (laughing at herself) Yes. That's what I mean. She looks beautiful.
