Olga and I are having a blast over this for a few weeks now. \u00a0Maxim seems to be going through an age comparison stage when at his kindergarten. \u00a0Kids tell each other how old they are, and all of them want to be of the same age as someone else. \u00a0Maxim has this friend Sasha, who is “five and three quarters”. \u00a0 We haven’t covered quarters with Maxim yet (only halves), so he is exploring the math on his own. \u00a0That results in this joke that runs in our home for some time now:<\/p>\n
– Maxim, how old are you?<\/p>\n
– I am five and cree waters.<\/p>\n
– How? How old?<\/p>\n
– Five and cree waters!<\/p>\n
– Five and what?<\/p>\n
– Five and cree waters, I said!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Of course, we tell him that it’s “three quarters” not “cree waters”, and that he isn’t actually “three quarters” yet. \u00a0But as with everything you learn on your own rather than being taught, it takes more time to get used to the new knowledge.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
