Dinnertime Math

Yesterday at my mom's house for dinner, Karina was being her usual 2-year-old-picky self, and not wanting to finish her dinner.  She wanted to get down and play more.  So I finally said, "Eat three bites of ham and you can get down."  She loves ham, so this wasn't any terrible thing.  She began to eat the bites of ham as requested, with no complaint.  Somehow the discussion turned to counting and numbers, and I told Mom that Karina knows a lot of numbers and we were counting.  I think Karina was saying she had eaten 2 bites already or something.  So we counted, 1, 2, 3.  "What comes after 3?" I asked her.

"Down," she replied.


That girl is too smart for her own good.
