Finding the true me

A young girl asked me in all seriousness today what a plaything was. Apparently this is an unfamiliar term to some of the younger generation. 

I didn't make fun...just explained what it was & told her I'd put the definition here. 

Now, that you have the definition, young one, read the "plaything" post again & see if it makes more sense. 

Plaything; noun

1. Someone who is of amusement and satisfaction to another, be it sexual or purely innocent, when they are beckoned (doesn't matter what age).

2. An object that is given to a child to distract them for a few moments so parents can do what they have to do. Toy
