Big Brother: I think I'm going to be Superman for Hallowe'en this year.
Me: You mean next year? You know, this year is almost over.
Big Brother: How many more days?
Me: There's thirty one days in December? and today's the twenty first, so ten more days.
Big Brother: How many days are in a year?
Me: Three hundred sixty five.
Big Brother, after thinking for a brief moment: So three hundred fifty five days have already passed this year.
We don't really teach math around here, though we do talk about it when it comes up. And this kid has never been to a school math class. If Momma catches me posting at this point, this moment in time, she'll have my ass, so . . .

I love it when math just soaks in. My husband is always asking what we've done in our 'lessons' each day. Usually, not much, but moments like this prove they really are learning.
