just had to share this

[wendilla]

I asked my grandson what 6 + 7 was and he said 14. I said that is wrong and told him the answer. Then he said But granma it's changed now since you were at school. Anyone else had cute answers.?

[sqad617]

Yes.....a clip behind the ear......the clever little "git"

[craft1948]

Having said that when I was at school there were 5 continents - there are now apparently 6......

[hailthechimp]

I asked my grandson what 6 + 7 was and he said 14. HE SAID IT WAS 14? That if that was my son i would've sent him to work down the mines or up the chimneys till he knew the difference between a shilling and a sixpence!

Awww, bless him.

Last year my youngest tearfully asked if I was going to die in the school hols. When I asked him why he thought that, he said that his auntie had said she was taking him to Orphan Towers.
(They had great fun at ALTON Towers!)

I made �25 by sending that story to a magazine!

[funnygirl]

Wendilla, he is right.
They teach them answer to the nearest whole number.
The nearest whole number to 13 is 14!!

I don't agree with this, but apparently it is a government thing and on the curriculum.

With quantatitive easing 6 +7 = 9




�?�? DID THAT HELP �?

[Bbbananas]

craft - most people I know now are incontinent...

[legendis.god]

mrs o is that the numpty medical student one ?

lol

[craft1948]

funnygirl if you're not joking I think it's time to slash my wrists.....

[craft1948]

lol salla - but which of the 6?

[sqad617]

mrs_0........you are getting worse.....another clip around the ears.

Why do some grandparents think that their grandchildren are lovely, when to all concerned they are obviously, spoilt, indulged and a total embarassment which a "clip around the ear" would be the perfect treatment.
e.g see grandparents with grand kids at airports.

Why isn't 13 a whole number?

Surely a whole number is a number that doesn't contain a fraction?

[sqad617]

Nice one Lofty.

[craft1948]

er it's not a whole number 'cos it's not divisible.....

[Bbbananas]

I was almost going to say a particular continent there craft - and come up with a horrid (what would have been deemed racist, but would not have been intended as such) joke about uncontrollably offloading their crap for years. But I dossn't, so I won't.

[Bbbananas]

ooh, this is getting all maths-like. I'm off - I'm rubbish at maths and have a mental block when it comes to this stuff. No wonder my finances are in a mess...

[mrs_overall]

legend, no that's not the med student....who I could write a book on....but my youngest who was 9 this week.

[LoftyLottie2]

Whole numbers don't have to be divisible.

[craft1948]

quite right Lottie - as soon as I pressed the submit button I tried to stop the post (red face)

[LoftyLottie2]

Put on your dunces cap and go and sit in the corner Craft!!
