Where does he learn these words?

When Ethan gets in trouble and is sent to his room, he has the choice of going himself or having help with increased consequences. Today was a day that he started bright and early with hitting and sassing, both of which are not tolerated, and was sent to his room. He refused to go so I began taking him.

"No, Mommy, I want to go in myself."

I set him down to give him the chance.

"Mommy, I don't need you to escort me in my room." He stood statue still just outside his door. As I finish helping him to his room, I am stunned at his vocabulary. Where on earth did he learn the word escort, let alone what it means and how to use it in a sentence?
