I added an extra s sometimes to.
On another note. My daughter was playing in the living room while I was watching baseball/basketball and she was tired so she went to lay in her bed.
I said “you have to come put away all your toys if you are going to bed”.
So she was putting all her toys away and I left the room to help my wife with something. When I came back her toys were away but she had taken out a balance scale and little weights that belonged to my son for his homeschool science experiments and she was back in her room laying down.
I said “I thought I told you to put all your toys away” and she replied “I did”. So I said “what about that scale” and she said “that’s not a toy, it’s a learning tool”.
Blasted! foiled by a 5 year old. Used my own words against me.
Needlessly Pedantic Man is very impressed with your daughter.

This was especially clever because I make an effort to distinguish the difference between toys and tools we use for learning.

Kinda disappointing. As a kid, I thought it was some sort of fancy clothes that got easily snagged on things.
If you weren’t careful it would get caught on something and up you’d go, hoisted into the air.
