Well, grandpa ... it might be harder to get the point across when he comes home from high school with these kinds of questions.

You're probably gonna have to use something different than cookies to peak his interest in learning proper mathematics, don'tcha know.

Something that happened last year just keeps me wondering . . .
Seems my six or seven year old wanna-be grandson came
home from school one day and told me two is equal to three.

I keep hoping that this came from one of his classmates being
stupid . . . . But I gotta wonder.

Anyway, when the kid told me '2 = 3' I told him that
"two does not equal three".

He assured me that it did.

So, I told him "How about I give you two cookies, and
I give your brother three cookies. Now, who has more
cookies?"

I think he figured out why two is not equal to three.

Zim.
