Level of tiredness: Arguing grammar and linguistics with a 4-year-old.<\/p>\n

Destroy:<\/strong> I throwed my transformer down the stairs.<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> You THREW your toy. And don\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

Destroy:<\/strong> No, I throwed my transformer, not my toy.<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> Ok. But you already threw it. Which means you did it already. The past tense of \u201cthrow\u201d is \u201cthrew.\u201d And don\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

Destroy:<\/strong> And then you catched it.<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> I CAUGHT it.<\/p>\n

Destroy:<\/strong> Because it was already catched?<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> Kind of. \u201cCaught\u201d is the past tense of \u201ccatch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Destroy:<\/strong> No. You catched it because it didn\u2019t broked.<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> It didn\u2019t BREAK. But don\u2019t throw your toys.<\/p>\n

Destroy:<\/strong> You\u2019re doing it wrong Luke Skywalker! <uproarious laughter><\/em><\/p>\n

And then I spilled my coffee down my shirt. I\u2019m gonna need more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
