Andante - What It Sounds Like

Going through some musical terms with an 11-yr-old girl.

Me: What does Andante mean?
Girl: I have no idea.
Me: Take a guess.  What does it sound like?  [slowly] An-dahn-tay.
Girl [skeptical]: Like an aunt?
Me: Er - nooo... [I do the 'let your fingers do the walking' thing with my fingers]
Girl: Creepy?
Me: Ahem.  Walking.  My fingers are walking.  Andante is walking pace.
