Jackson has this toy called the "Word Whammer" which comes with a bunch of magnetic letters that he puts in the toy to spell three-letter words. If he spells the word correctly, it sings a little song telling him he got it right and that he's a smart kid.
Yesterday, it asked him to spell the word "war."
He did, and was rewarded with the song:
War, is what you see.
You spelled it super-duper excellently.
War!
I found it a little disconcerting.
