Toys, not food.

I walked into the room where the kids were playing with actual toys, having been denied their usual fix of electronic stupor. That looks like a peanut butter cracker, I said, pointing to a toy that looked a lot like the same. No, said the three-year-old, that's not a cracker, and you can't eat it. All of these things on the table are toys. If you eat them, you'll choke, or get sick. And that's why they're toys.
