write out math word problems.

"If Daddy go at 8:20AM" is as far as he got. He told me the rest was "and it takes him 1 hour, what time does he get there? Oh yeah, 9:20AM."

Of all the things I thought I'd tire of, listening to a 4 year old talk about math and clocks/time all.day.long. was never even a thought. I guess I should have expected the child of a former baseball statistician wannabe and a guy who creates and reads books on databases for fun to be all about numbers.
