Kourtney Kardashian Barker doesn’t love being called “lovey.”

In this week’s episode of The Kardashians, the Lemme co-founder, 45, FaceTimes her sister Khloé Kardashian, 40, while she’s in Australia touring with her husband Travis Barker. The Good American co-founder is with her son Tatum, and when the 23-month-old moves his face closer to the screen, his mom tries to get him to say hello.

“Lovey,” Tatum exclaims, which is what he calls his grandma Kris Jenner. Upon hearing the little one’s words, Kourtney makes a face.

“Kourtney, that is not an insult,” Khloé assures her.

“Do I look like I’m in my 60s?” Kourtney asks in response.

“Obviously she’s my mom, and she’s beautiful,” the Poosh founder tells the cameras in a confessional. “And she’s 20-something years older than me, so it’s not like the ultimate compliment. Or it kind of is I guess?”

Back in the scene, Khloé continues to urge Tatum to say, “Hi Auntie Kourt.”

“Kourt,” he finally says.

“Yes, this is Auntie Kourt, not Lovey,” Khloé tells her son.

Less than one second goes by before Tatum says Kourtney’s favorite word once again: “Lovey.”

All episodes of season 5 of The Kardashians are streaming now on Hulu.
