dad asks "what do you want to be when you grow up, kid?"
kid replies "i dont know dad. what do you want to be when you grow up?"

kid runs over to dad and asks dad to help him with his numbers. kid holds out his two hands and says, "test me on my numbers up to ten!"
dad says "whats 2 plus 6?"
kid replies, staring at his fingers, "8!"
dad says "what's 8 plus 2?"
kid answers "10!"
dad says "what's 10 plus 2?"
kid stares really hard at his hands and says with a frown "i can't answer that..."
dad says "why not?"
kid says "i'd need to have twelve fingers."
