Sweet Sam and Above-Average Anne

We had just viewed a commercial for a jewelery store...

Sammy: Mom, we should buy you a jewel
Me: Oh, yeah?  That would be nice.
Sammy: Yeah!  A diamond!  Let's go right now!
Me: Well, diamonds are very expensive

Anne: What does "expensive" mean?
Me: It means it costs a lot of money.
Anne: And what means the opposite?
Me: Well, something that doesn't cost a lot of money is "cheap"
Anne: Hmmm...so if I found a Strawberry Shortcake toy that cost $91, that would be expensive.  But if I found a My Little Pony toy that cost only $1, that would be cheap.

At this rate, she isn't so much going to ATTEND kindergarten as she is INSTRUCT kindergarten.
