1. having suitable or sufficient skill, knowledge, experience, etc., for some purpose; properly qualified: He is perfectly competent to manage the bank branch.
2. adequate but not exceptional.
Tonight at dinner, Benny said he was competent at splitting apart his peanut butter and fluff sandwich. Yes, Benny was having a sandwich for dinner because I made turkey paninis and Benny does not like them.
So, while eating, he said - "I am competent at this." I had to laugh and ask where he learned this word. He said at school. I then asked what it meant and he said "it means I am talented at something." So, evidently they are teaching kids quite a bit at kindergarten these days!
Benny demonstrating his competent behavior...
Very pleased with his abilities...

way to go for learning BIG words at such a young age!
I'll have to ask Erin if she knows what it means...too funny!
