Is two years long enough to master a language?

I'm taking the POSS2 to school. We're sitting at a stop light when a truck pulling a boat rolls up along side us. I look over and say, "Look, Buddy...a boat!" He doesn't look up, but still says (with a beaner accent, no less), "No. It's a ship."

"No, Buddy, that's a boat." And I wonder why he'd start in with this and be confused with boats and ships. In the few seconds that I contemplated it, I figured it had something to do with the barge he saw in TN (pictured below a couple days ago).

Then he says, "Ship...baaah aaahhhahh."

There's probably special classes for him or me, right?
