Lexism of the week

Tonight I was reading a Strawberry Shortcake story to Lexi. They characters in the book were planting a berry patch and Strawberry assigned jobs to everyone except her dog, Pupcake. When Pupcake voiced his disapproval, Strawberry said that Pupcake could supervise. Lexi stopped me and asked what 'supervise' means. I told her that it means someone that bosses other people around. I should've chosen my words more carefully.

"You've been supervising me for a long time and I DON'T LIKE IT," she exclaimed.

Oh dear!
