So James and I were doing math review today. I asked him a question, then he said, "Ya know what? Four plus three plus four plus three minus one is thirteen."
Just to be silly, I jokingly counted it out on my fingers (since our math program says NOT to use your fingers), by counting out, "Four (one finger up) plus three (second finger up) plus four (third finger) plus three (fourth finger) minus one (put the fourth finger down) equals THREE!"
James looked at me quizically, laid his hand on my knee and said, "Mom, I think that's why you're not supposed to count on your fingers."
