Sis is an exact grammarian.
Even if, technically, she gets a lot incorrect.
See, she knows the rules, not the exceptions, and therefore says "funner" or "I am't" for "I'm not." And anything she does, she adds an "-er" to the end, as in "I'm a good water-er" or "I'm a good taking turner." English is such a quirky language with so many exceptions, but she clearly understands the idea of comparatives, contractions, and whatever the last one is (gerundive?) and how they are usually formed, just not in particular cases.
It's actually really cute. I'm kinda sorry she'll ever learn the exceptions.
