Yesterday, I had lunch at school with my fourth grader. We were sitting with a classmate and her mother. Her friend is telling us about 2 siblings and 2 half-siblings. I asked “If you have 2 full siblings and 2 half siblings, does that mean you have a total of three siblings?” The mother and daughter both looked at me with blank stares.

My daughter leaned over and said in my ear “Daddy, I don’t think they are smart enough to understand math jokes”
