The correct answer is semantics.
Semantics is the aspect of language which has to do with meaning. So when the mother says 'It's rough,' she is referring to the difficulty of the math assignment her son was given, whereas her son understood it literally as the paper being rough, which he refutes by saying it is actually smooth. 

the correct answer would be that shes like 5 and she doesnt know what sarcasm is
