Grammar tips from Geek Girl

The following scene just played out in The Geeks' living room:

Geek Girl: My towel is wet.

Parent: Put it where the washer and dryer is.

Geek Girl: You mean "are". You said "is", but you should have said "are".

Parent: Now *she's* correcting me!

To be fair, our washer and dryer are a single stacked unit with the washer on the bottom. But the parent in question regularly endures corrections from the other of us - and now Geek Girl, too.
