Fast Food Math Lesson. It went something like this...
R: Here you have 2 balls Jayce, what happens when I give you 2 more?
J: I have 4 balls!
R: Right! So if I take one ball away, how many do you have?
J: Three... but I want 5 balls.
R: Ok, I take 2 balls away, I subtract 2, how many do you have now?
J: You're just being mean to me. I only have one ball now and you're not being fair taking my balls away like that.
R: So I take another ball away. How many do you have now?
J: This is not fair. I want 5 balls and now I don't have any and you are just mean and I don't like this game.
R: So if I give you these balls back, how many do you have?
J: Three, but I want 5! (near tears) I do not like this game. You are just mean.
Oh, the injustice of math!

Ohhhhh my god I'm dying here. So so funny. If that doesn't sum up what it felt like to be three I don't know what does!
Well now, I don't know if I should be mad 'cause you're mean to my grandson!! What a clever way to teach a math lesson!
