Misapplication of logic

Girl counting money:
One mun. Two muns. Three muns. Four muns!

Interpretation:
Money, clearly, is the diminutive of the correct term, mun.
Therefore, the correct plural form is muns.

Very logical.

Speaking of which:

After a recent running-race thing at school* Boy bemoaned the fact that he never wins.

But I win all the flying races, Mummy!




*I forgot to go and didn't even have the decency to feel bad when Boy asked whether I'd seen him run.
