UN!!!

Conversation with a student yesterday during reading group after we had discussed the prefixes for a WEEK last week.

Me: So, who remembers what the prefix un- means?
Student: "UNDO!"

M: No, what is the meaning? the definition of un-?
S: UN!!

M: No, that's the prefix, whats the meaning?
S: UNDO!

M: No, that's a word that has the prefix un-...but that's a good word that uses un!

And then I gave up and gave him the answer.

And yet, I think that slooooowwwwwwly, they are getting it!
