The only number that my daughter knows is thoo (two). And,
recently she has started counting! Show her your fist, and she starts unfolding
each finger, and counts aloud, ‘Thoo, thoo, thoo, thoo, thoo’. She concludes
that you have only two fingers.
Her Dad, who always wanted her to win, asks her these
questions:
‘What is one plus one?’
‘Thoo’, comes the
answer.
‘Good. What is five minus three?’
‘Thoo.’
‘Great! What is the square root of four?’
‘Thoo.’
‘Wow! You are a child prodigy’, he exclaims dramatically. Lol!
It reminded me of a story that my Mom told me long back. A
man claims that his goat can speak. Surprised to hear that, his friends gather
in his house to check if that’s true.
The man gets his goat, and asks her, ‘Which is the fifth
month in a year?’
‘Maeyyy’
‘Which is the month after April?’
‘Maeyyy’
‘Which is the month before June?’
‘Maeyyy’
The man turns to his friends, and says, ‘See, didn’t I tell you that she can speak?’
