She's Speaking English, but I Don't Have a Clue What she is Saying

Last night at dinner, Myla was all excited to tell Kasey and I about something from school.   It went something like this:

Myla:  "Mrs. Beck said that if we bring in $2,000 we will get a duck trophy."
Matthew:  "Who is Mrs. Beck?"
Myla:  "The gym teacher."
Kasey:  "Say that again."
Myla:  "If we bring in $2,000 to Mrs. Beck we will get a duck trophy."
Matthew:  "I'm so confused.  Why would you get a duck trophy?"
Myla:  "Because we brought in $2,000."
Kasey:  "But why would you bring in $2,000?"
Myla:  (getting frustrated) "To get the duck trophy!"
Matthew:  (starting to laugh)  "Let me get this straight...Mrs. Beck told you to bring in $2,000 to get a duck trophy?"
Myla:  "Yes!"
Matthew:  "Did she just tell you this, or the whole class?"
Myla:  "The whole class."
Kasey:  "Is Mrs. Beck running a pyramid scheme?"  (Matthew laughs, Myla shoots Kasey a look)
Matthew:  "So we are supposed to give you $2,000 to give to Mrs. Beck?"
Myla:  "No!  We are supposed to email our friends and family to ask for it."
Kasey:  "Oh, I see.  So we should send an email to everyone telling them to give us money so you can get a duck trophy from Mrs. Beck."
Myla:  "Yes."

At this point Kasey and I just gave up.  This morning when we opened Myla's backpack we found answers.  There was information in there for a Jump Rope for Heart Fundraiser where the kids are supposed to collect pledges.  It clearly says that if a child brings in $200 in pledges, they will get the trophy duck. 

So, on the way to school, I told Myla that I now understood about the jump rope fundraiser:

Matthew:  "Hey Myla, I saw your info on the ducks for Mrs. Beck."
Myla:  "Oh yeah.""
Matthew:  "It is $200 not $2,000 that you need to raise for the trophy duck."
Myla:  "Whatever, dad."
Matthew:  "There is a big difference, Myla."
Myla:  "I know."

I love my kindergartner.
