Beware when your child begins to read

I am reading a Jodi Picoult novel, and Nidhi standing next to me on the sofa is reading over my shoulder.
Suddenly she asks, "What's virgittiny?" (she pronounces 'g' as in 'girl')
I say, "What?"
She asks again, "What's virgittiny? Why did she lose her virgittiny?"
I close the book, turn towards her and say, "Err... because she wasn't looking after it properly!"
