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.
