At dinner, we had resorted once again to giving Tess a certain number of bites (5) before she could be done. When asked how many bites she had taken, she said she had done 5 already. To which I replied with unbelief. And then the math lesson started:
Tess: If I took 1 bite and then 4 more, then I took 5. See? I'm not lying.
Me: I guess that is right.
Then she thought we were just doing math problems. And hit me with the greatest word problem I've ever been asked to solve:
Tessa: If I had 100, and you had 0, then what would you do to get my 100?
Why wasn't math that interesting when I was in school?
