What I meant: [Child], please get the rest of your stuff out of the basement and put it back in your room, from whence it came originally.
What Child heard: [Child], please get the rest of your stuff out of the basement.
Where I found Child's stuff: On the window seat in the living room.
Child was honestly confused when called on this. "But, Mom, you only said to get it out of the basement!"
