      You probably meant ‘further’ but I was wondering for a while if your comment counts as inverted dad joke in its current state. Also, which paper plane? Inquiring toddlers need to know.

        “Farther”. May have been a simple typo.

        And as a father, I can confidentry say that a paper airplane that’s tightly scrunched into a ball flies the farthest in our household.

          But … that’s cheating! No way it passes the toddler aviation aesthetics check.

          Also, non-native needs to know the difference between ‘further’ and ‘farther’ …

            Farther for physical distance. Further for metaphorical distance, and (or), to mean “additional” or “moreover”.
