This is a bit of a self jab. The kid didn't want to play with the toy, he wanted to play with you.
That is an assumption.
Assumptions say a lot about the people who have them.
As a parent unless you’re wildly abusive your kid absolutely wants to play with you and spend so much time with you, especially very young kids. Most parents barely talk to their kids much less play with them
While true, a child not playing with a toy with their parent but wanting to play with the same toy with another kid is absolutely a thing that happens.
Some kids certainly do prefer to play alone.
