What a great question, young friend! So, you know how sometimes we might say something or do something that's not quite right, like talking back to our parents or not sharing with friends?

Well, impudent is an old-fashioned word that means being cheeky or disobedient in a way that's maybe a bit too bold. It's like saying, "I don't care what you say, I'm going to do my own thing!"

Imagine your little brother says, "You can't make me eat my vegetables!" And then he proceeds to push the plate away and run off. That would be an impudent thing for him to do.

Or picture this: You're told to clean up after lunch, but you just ignore it and go back to playing with your toys instead. That's another example of being a bit too cheeky or disobedient!

So, if someone says you've been acting impudently, it means they think you've been a bit too bold or cheeky for your own good! But don't worry, we all have those moments sometimes – even grown-ups do!

Now, let's practice saying the word together: "Im-pu-dent." Say that with me?
