Andy isn't the only one I have interesting conversations with. This is one I had with Sarah this morning in the car on the way to school. Remember, she's four.
Sarah: Mommy, what's 10 + 10 + 10?
Me: 30.
Sarah: What's 30 + 30 + 30?
Me: 90.
Sarah: What's 90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 90?
Me: 540.
Sarah: What's 540 + 540 + 540 + 540 + 540 +540 + 540?
Me: 3780.
Sarah: What's...
Me: Stop. I can't do any more than that in my head. That's all I can do.
Sarah (pauses): Mommy, what's 1 + 1?
Me: You tell me?
Sarah: No, I just want to see if YOU know the answer!
