right? I find it extremely funny that she called her grandfather a punk?? i'd guess she got it from tv or a movie. i think it's also hard for kids to get that the range of emotion/expression in fiction is exaggerated & you can't/shouldn't talk like that in real life. (and honestly......... sometimes even a problem for adults - haven't we all picked up an expression from tv/film/a book & then learned we misunderstood the connotation? I remember as a teen not knowing "croak" was pejorative)
