The elementary class was learning about addition.
The teacher asks little cindy, “If I give you two cats, and Jimmy gives you two more, and Sally gives you two more, how many cats would you have?”
cindy thinks about it for a few seconds and says, “Seven.”
The teacher says, “No, let’s try again. Listen carefully. I give you two, Jimmy gives you two more, and then Sally gives you two more.”
cindy spends a few minutes thinking it out, and again says, “Seven.”
The teacher says, “Let’s try it another way. If I put two apples on your desk, then two more, and then two more, how many apples would you have?”
cindy says, “Six.”
The teacher says, “Good, now if I give you two cats, and Jimmy gives you two more, and then Sally gives you two more, how many cats would you have?”
cindy again says, “Seven.”
The teacher, obviously frustrated, yells at cindy, “Why do you keep saying seven?!”
cindy says, “Because… I’ve already got a cat!”
