Equation

Boys and girls must not be rude in play. -- McGuffey Primer

In the car this evening, on the way home from dinner, I started asking Lila random math addition facts. Eli surprised me by spouting a few of his own. Then it got kind of random.

Me: What does Lila plus Eli equal?
Lila: An argument!

There was some discussion of putting Lila + Eli = Argument on a shirt, but I suggested that we should change the equation instead. For example, Lila + Eli = Team. One of the kids changed the subject.

Oh well.

LOL! Kids say the darnedest things wasn't just the title of a '60s TV show! Or was that the '50s? I'm showing my age again. :/
