Zoe: How many eggs are in an egg carton?
Me: A dozen.
Zoe: How many is a dozen?
Little did I know she was about to ask me one of my least favorite things — a word math problem.
Zoe: If I had 15 chickens and each chicken laid one egg a day for a month, how many egg cartons would I need?
(And then she threw a zinger at me.)
AND have two eggs left.
What?!
First of all, I don’t even know if it’s a 28 day, 30 day, or 31 day month. And then she wants to have two eggs left over.
Whose kid do I have??
