six-year-old logic

Jordan's class had a big 100th day of school celebration not too long ago (sorry, I can't remember the exact day of the 100th day of school).

For his homework he filled in this questionnaire:

If I had a hundred…

If I had a hundred dollars, I would buy candy

If I had a hundred pencils, I would write with them.

If I had a hundred mosquito bites, I would put ice on them.

If I had a hundred friends, I would play with them.

If I had a hundred legs, I would walk with them.

If I had a hundred eyes, I would see with them.

If I had a hundred Moms, I would play with all of them.

If I had a hundred dads, I would play with them too.

If I had a hundred computers, I would play games

If I had a hundred books, I would read them.



Then in class, the children made a 100th day book. It had cute activities like counting to 100 by 2s, 10s, etc. And the last page was another little questionnaire.



Jordan said,

I could eat 100 M&Ms.

I could eat 100 pizzas.

I could eat 100 spaghettis (he later clarified that to mean "scoops" of spaghetti").

But I could never eat 100 sweets (meaning candies).


M&Ms aren't sweets or candy? What are they, then?

Gotta love 6 year old logic!
