Froglet Does Maths and Other Unrelated Items

First of all: whoever committed this has either a very good sense of humour, or a very bad pair of glasses. Or maybe he/she needs to go back to zoology 101.

Saturday, as we were driving to Downtown Toironto, Froglet showed us her magnificent grasp of elementary mathematics.

Froglet: Hey! I can do 5 in 2 different ways! *holds up left hand with five outstretched fingers, then four fingers on the left hand and one on the right hand, and beams*
Husband: Good! Can you find another way?
Froglet: Uh... *triumphantly shows 2 fingers on right hand, 3 on left hand*
Froglet: And I can do two like this *holds up both thumbs*
Froglet: And I can do one like this *holds up thumb*
Froglet: And I can do one like this *holds up index finger*
Froglet: And I can do one like th...
rainette: NO!
Husband *bursts out laughing* Didn't you see it coming?
Froglet *looks worriedly at her middle finger* What's wrong with my finger?
rainette: nothing, sweetpea, it's just... Not that finger, OK?
Nearby driver *swallows his dentures in shock and gapes at the pretty five-year-old who appears to be flipping her parents the bird*
Husband *smiles winningly* Hello, we're French, don't mind us, just teaching our daughter the art of non-verbal communication on the road, French-style
rainette shut up
Froglet *raises hand again* What do you call this finger in English?
rainette: THE MIDDLE FINGER! BUT IT'S NOT POLITE TO HOLD IT UP THAT WAY!
Froglet: Oh. Why?

Among the other complicated questions I faced this week-end:

Froglet: Mommy, what's more important, to eat or to have parents?
rainette: Erm. Well, if you don't eat, you die, but your parents give you the food that you eat, so...
Froglet *ponders*
Froglet: Mommy, I love you SO MUCH! I love you more than the moon and the stars, more than the sun, more than my teacher!

And the most wonderful is, she believes every word. *sighs happily*
