Patterns
Henry and I had what might be characterized as our first math squabble today, and I suspect there will be many more... In kindergarten, they are teaching him to recognize patterns. He has it down and enjoys quizzing us frequently. Oh and before I forget, his favorite shape is the trapezoid. So anyway, it goes a little like this
Henry: Dad's turn - what is 1-0 -0
Me: Uhhh, it's B-A-A
Henry: Daaaaad! That's not it. It's A-B-B.
Me: Since 1 comes after 0, you should start with B not A.
Henry: You're wrong Dad, it's A-B-B.
What ensued can only be characterized as a 5 year old brainwashing his dad, until I grudgingly agreed to call it A-B-B, because I was probably being a little petty. So yes, it was hist first math argument and one could say that he won.
By the way, dubbing foreign films has never been, nor ever will be, a good idea. When will the media goons figure this out?

I'm with Henry on this one, lol.

I'm with Henry, too. I'm also hoping that's the last time I'm trapped in a car while a math argument rages on between the two of you.
I'm with you on the dubbing though.
See you space cowboy!
