S and K were in the computer room, hanging out, when K told S to get something for her.
We've been trying really hard to instill self-sufficiency and manners, and "Daddy, go get me a drink" doesn't cut it. My usual tac is to say something like "I'm not your maid; you are quite capapble of getting it for yourself, or if you ask very nicely I might help you" so she was confused when S changed up the vocabulary and said:
"I'm not your slave."
"No, it's 'I'm not your maid,' Daddy."
"Slave works, too."
"What is a slave?"
"A slave is someone who does your work for you, like a maid, but they don't get paid for it."
Pause. Very matter of fact, "That's handy."
What am I supposed to do with that?
