A Bryan funny

Tonight we were in the midst of an Aaron homework tantrum (that lasted an hour and a half) and Tim said, "I bet Bryan could figure out that math problem." He brought Bryan up to the kitchen and set out 9 pencils on the table, in sets of 3. ( the math problem was 3 x 3, which Aaron knows and can do, but he was in his stubborn tantrum mode and it was awful!)

ANYWAY, Tim asks Bryan something like, "If you have 3 groups with 3 pencils in each group, how many pencils are there all together?"

Bryan confidently answered, "FIVE."

Tim - "Five? Count the pencils and see how many there are." (now keep in mind here that Bryan can easily count to 13. after 13 he starts to jump around a bit...)

Bryan counting, "1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5!"

We all just started laughing!

That is cute! I just love 'em when they're young.

Too bad they have to grow up. On the other hand, thank heaven's they do!
