Logical mind

Working through some addition and subtraction by sets ,looking a picture of a farm with animals
Mom : Now make a addition and subtraction story .Its easy,its just like the example we talked about
Elvish : Ok , there are 7 ducks in the farm.6 of them are in the pond,how many are outside ?This is a subtraction story isn't it ?
Mom : Yes ! Excellent,now try another set for addition
Elvish : There are 6 ducks in the pond. If you found out the answer to the last one,you would know how many are outside the pond.Now tell me how many ducks are in the farm .This is an addition,subtraction and a logic story !
Mom : Logic ?
Elvish : Yes ,the logic would be solve the subtraction problem first .

Lost "ears"

Mom : You better clean your ears when you shower ,else they might just fall off.I see you aren't cleaning the right ear
Elvish : I will
Mom :You have been saying that,I am not sure you are doing it !
Elvish : Either ways ,it would be ok even it falls out
Mom :Why do you want to lose an ear ?
Elvish : You always say your words pass through one year and leave in other,now they may have nowhere to go !!

Big words in a small mouth

Guilt of being happy

Mom : It is too quiet up there . I hope you are not going to be guilty of something
