Computation Easton-Style

Here is the math problem:
You are a four-year-old boy drawing pictures quietly during church service with your six markers and a sheet of paper, when your two-year-old little sister decides she wants to draw also. Your mom tells you to divide the markers between the two of you. How many markers will each of you get?
(Mom is expecting three, right? Six divided by two is three.)

Easton math: I get four and she gets two. (At momma's lowered eyebrows ready to rebuke, he explains) "Because I am four and she is two!!!"

And speaking of drawing, I can't. Even my stick people are hard to identify as such. So imagine my surprise at Easton's drawing of a helicopter!!! Perhaps I'm too easily impressed, but I think this boy has got something I haven't!!

  2. Wow, what a great picture. Definately a gift from God, which is not one that I possess. My stick figures are pretty pathetic also. I had to explain to my kindergarten class that I was their teacher, not an artist. I love his logic with the markers, truly classic.
