Amusing Math Homework


It never fails to amaze me how literal and matter-of-fact a child can be when answering a question. Today, helping Tristan with his math homework was one of those days. His teacher requests that parents review and initial the homework each day before returning it to school. (don't we all do that? Apparently not, because she needs us to initial it to prove that we've looked at it.)


Any way, I've attached a photo of a question on today's homework, which Tristan answered with his usual literal preciseness. It is so plainly obvious that I'm surprised I did not get this...he he....and I tried SO HARD not to laugh, but once the chuckle started it wouldn't stop, and luckily he was in a good mood instead of being devestated that I would laugh at his homework.


I hope you enjoy his answer as much as I did! I love my kids.
