elfsOmaha and I were discussing the upcoming A Magickal Life presentation that she and a bunch of other local pagans are putting on for the local community. They've invited Maxine Saunders, a founder of some sect of paganism with which I am not too familiar, to come and speak. As we were talking, Omaha said, "And the Sunday after that she'll be giving a lecture to everyone."
Kouryou-chan, who was sitting on the couch behind us reading a book, looked up and said, "Why would she give a lecture to everyone?"
Omaha and I looked at each other and it dawned on us that the only context Kouryou-chan knew for the word "lecture" was being lectured to when she was in trouble for something. We quickly told her that was not the case and there were other uses for the word "lecture," and she understood that and went back to reading.
