It's permanent...

Earlier today while we were at my mom's house Alex picked up a Sharpie and proceeded to draw on her hand.  Daddy, Uncle Greg and Grandmom all told her it was permanent, to which she sweetly replied, "It's okay".  Not too long after that she was surprised to see that the marker wasn't coming off her hand.  Everyone said that they had told her it was permanent.  I saw the look on her face and asked her if she knew what the word permanent meant.  She shook her head "no".  Oops.  Her English speaking skills are so good that it is sometimes hard to remember that she doesn't know what a seemingly basic word such as "permanent" means.
