    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”.
