Misunderstanding

I was at the p.c. earlier today and over heard this conversation between Ben, Zach, Joe and Es while wrestling.

Twins to Dad: You're stubborn!
Ben laughing: What?
Twins :You're stubborn.
Ben: What does stubborn mean?
Zach: It means you're chubby!

At this point, Ben's laughing and I try and correct Zach.
Katy: Chubby means....Joe interrupts
Joey: that you're cute!

Ben is now trying to explain to them what all these words really mean.
Ben: Stubborn means.....he's interrupted by Sis
Sis: that you don't know very much!

We are both laughing now, so it's almost useless to explain. They probably wouldn't have understood what we were saying through our mirth anyway.
Oh well. Another day, another vocabulary lesson!
