His Nibs: “I thought you said we could only have one book each.”
Me: “I’m picking one out for the cat.”
his Nibs: “The cat has no thumbs.” (note HN did not say ‘the cat cannot read’.)
The Captain: “Hey. I thought you said we could only get one book each.”
Me: “this is only one book.”
The Nipper: “that’s three books.”
Me: “It’s one. I’m counting in base three.”
His Nibs: “*sigh* apparently I do not count as a responsible adult to take you shopping.”
Me: “*I* think you’re lovely.”
The Captain: “Oh My Goodness. I’m leaving.”

C’mon now! A set of three totally counts as one book!
…it was not a set of three, sadly.
I cannot fault your logic. Also my cat actually has thumbs. I’m not sure where that puts HN’s logic.
Hrm. Normally I’d say “in the shitter”, because that’s just a funny phrase. But I’m going to go with, “he’s right on this one” because OUR mongoloid cat has no thumbs.
