What is this Adrian?

Was having dinner in a friend’s place, then her 4 year-old lil brother came to the table and started chatting with me. So, I joined him in the conversation, which turned out to be a really entertaining one.

We chatted for about 10 minutes, when I started to ask him, what is this and what is that as i began pointing, and he began naming them for me.
I was impressed from the moment he initiated the conversation, then as I went on pointing, he began to name them. Until, I pointed at the orange coloured dish on the table.

“What is this Adrian?” I asked
“(Think for a second…or maybe two second) … PAWN” , he hesitated and replied.
“No, that’s not a pawn, try again, you were close.” I encouraged
“(Looked puzzled) … a pawn...” he answered and looked at me, waiting for me to agree.
“No Adrian, that’s not a pawn, it’s PORN”
“PORN” he followed.

It was too late; I just introduced a dish called porn to a four year old kid!
It was actually prawn. Slipped my mouth.
My bad.

The worry is that the kid now may be linguistically challenged when it comes to, "prawns". And it's all your fault!
