"Maybe he knows something we don't," Ray suggested, like maybe play dough was actually a superfood with tons of healthy stuff in it. "Or maybe he just saw his mom sprinkling it on top of ice-cream and thought it was the done thing."

In which case? Totally not his fault or a reflection on his judgement.

"If you're not gonna do it for me, do it for the children."

Probably the least convincing argument out there but Ray wasn't above trying.
