ADD and Multiplication

This is what it's like living with a brilliant, slightly ADD child:

Lizzy is supposed to be putting jammies on. Instead she is half undressed, head on the ground, bum in the air, thinking about multiplication.

Lizzy: "Mom, did you know that nine times nine is 81?"

Christine: "Yes. How did you know that?"

Lizzy: "Because nine times 10 is 90 and it's nine less than that."

Christine: "Ok, now get your jammies on."

A minute or so later, I hear Lizzy mumbling to herself: "Now, eight times eight..."

  1. I think I would like Lizzy. :)

    (By the way, this is Emery.)

  2. Yes, you would. She's a likable kid. Smart, funny... and distracted.

    Hope you are well.
