L- "ya."
M- "What color hair does she have?"
L- "Blonde"
M- "What color are her eyes?"
L- "Blue" (I was impressed no hesitation here)
M- "Is she a nice girl?"
L- "Yes, she always helps others at her table."
L- "Her birthday is in March like mine."
M- "Oh yeah, when is it? Do you know?"
L- pause...pause...pause...I think it's March 32nd.

Tonight I was helping Luke with his math homework. They are counting coins. Here's the math question. John has 10 pennies. He wants to trade for nickles. How many nickles can he get? Luke was stumped. I asked him how many cents are in a nickle and penny, which he knew. Then I asked him which one is more, a penny or a nickle.....he answered, "10 pennies" I asked "why?" He answered matter of fact, "because 10 pennies would be heavier in your pocket than a nickle." The lesson was stopped and I sent him to get the coin jar.
