We had a Christmas in July celebration at the office last Thursday.
People were asked to bring a plate to share.
I brought home two chocolate cookies which I placed on the table after dinner.
RD was ready for dessert but seeing only two cookies
(and knowing that two is not a factor of five),
he asked. "How many pieces should divide the cookies into?"
We would typically divide goodies into five so that everyone can have a taste.
When MacGyver said he didn't want any, I asked RD to divide them into four.
RD got up to get a glass of milk, all set to have half a cookie.
Then MyGirl said she just wanted a fraction.
And I changed my mind and announced that I also just wanted a fraction.
RD joined in and declared,
"One over one is also a fraction."
Smart cookie. He got his fraction.
