Comprehendo?

First Grade Teacher at Rug Time: Good job! Most First-Graders don't comprehendo that. Did you see that class? Most students don't comprehendo that and Chase did it perfect!
Annie: What does "comprehendo" mean?
Teacher: It means "understand" in Spanish... I think...
Austen the Little Spanish Speaker: (shakes his head in confusion and disgust)
Teacher: Or French... or German... (she trails off)
Annie: Why don't you just say "understand?"
