The mother was explaining for the reason why the boy should be published. The boy tried to get the cupcakes which was forbidden by his mom. So mommy was to punish the boy for that reason. But the boy was trying to imitate the words spoken by his mom like honey, listen and Linda.
This situation is telling how the children learn a language, they imitate or copy words from other people and speak them out. The more words they learn, the more vocabularies that earn and when they have enough vocabularies, they can use them in their lives.
I think this is very important for us as teachers. We need to speak English to them as much as possible so that the students can learn from us.
