Devlin has discovered he can count to 100. Last night, he decided to write out the numbers, from 1 to 100. Actually, he wanted to write out the numbers to 1000. I told him that it would take a long, long time to do that.
This is the conversation we had:
Devlin: No, 1000 comes after 110.
Me: No, sweetie, 1000 comes after 999.
Devlin: No it doesn't. I asked Habudgee (Grandpa) and he told me 1000 comes after 110.
Me: I think your grandfather didn't understand you.
Devlin: No, he's smarter than all of you, and he knows a lot. He said it came after 110.
Me: Well, he does have a Ph.D. in statistics, but I think I'm going to have correct him on this one.
Devlin: No. Don't do that. It's not nice to tell your father he's wrong. Besides, he's right. He knows lots of things!
Well...what do I do with that logic?
