Biting Rhetoric

Sophia was complaining about itchy insect bites on her skin. I suggested that maybe they're mosquito bites since they're out now.

Sophia: No! Not one mosquito! Many mosquitoes!
Me: What?
Sophia: You said "mosquito bites." I have many bites so you should say "mosquitoes' bites!"...

The problem of having two English teachers for parents is that grammar is always a battlefield with this child.
