1 + 1 = 11 when you look at it!

Conversation with my oldest daughter Leana (2nd grade):

LEANA: Daddy! I just figured something out!

ME: What did you figure lil’ sista?

LEANA: That 1 plus 1 always equals 11 when you look at it.

ME: For real? I always thought 1 plus 1 equals 2.

LEANA: Only when you don’t see two 1s together! (big smile)

ME: You know what, your right! Put two 1s together and it is 11 when you look at it.

LEANA: Yep! But I’ll just keep writing 1 plus 1 equals 2 since the world is weird.

You tell ‘em gurl! The world is weird like that. Alot of things equal differently when you really look at it.
