do you netflix?



Kids are funny. They inadvertently can pick up new words without being taught:

Dawson- (watching a commercial on t.v.) "Momma, can we netflix that toy someday?"
Me- "What do you mean?"
Dawson- "I want to netflix that toy from the t.v. I don't want to buy it, I just want to netflix it and then I can give it back."
Me- "Ohhh, you want to borrow it."
Dawson- "No. I want to netflix it."
Ryanna- (the all-knowing older sibling very seriously chimes in) "Dawson, you can't netflix toys on t.v. You can only netflix toys that your friends have already."
Dawson- "That's right. I netflixed a toy from Strattons, only they let me keep it."

Silly me, I thought the word was borrow. Living in the 21st Century is hard!
