Jase and I were reading aloud from a book of poetry by Roald Dahl. The poem was called the Ant-Eater about a spoiled boy who wants an peculiar pet.
The beginning of the poem goes like this: Some wealthy folks from U.S.A.,
Who lived near San Francisco Bay,
Possessed an only child called Roy,
A plump and unattractive boy -
Half-baked, half-witted and half-boiled,
But worst of all, most dreadfully spoiled.
Whatever Roy desired each day,
His father bought him right away —
Jason paused and said, "Wait a second, he would be one-third baked, one-third witted and one-third boiled. Haha! My little Math-brained boy knew that those fractions didn't add up.
