Bare or Bear?

Something that you should know about Lily is that she is STUBBORN.
That girl doesn't want to do anything unless it was her idea. The only way that I can get her to do anything is to give her an ultimatum.
Yeah, most of the ultimatums aren't really anything that would happen. Example: Lily, you can either get your clothes on and come with us, or you can not get your clothes on and people will see you in your underwear.
But, it works.
A little bit ago, we had an ultimatum experience.
I needed to leave and Lily didn't want to get her shoes and socks on.
Me: Lily, you can either get your shoes and socks on and come with us and have nice warm feet, OR you can NOT get your shoes and socks on and walk out in the cold in your bare feet.
Lily looked at her bare feet confused, then up at me like I was the DUMBEST person she has ever seen.
Lily: Um, mom.... I don't have bear feet.
Lily (pointing at her feet): Mom, these are not bear feet.


I couldn't help but laugh out loud at that. We have tried and tried to explain the difference to this little girl, but she just can't process it yet. William, on the other hand, thinks it's hilarious to say "Bear Bottom".

What have I created?
