Are math skills hereditary?

Cuz, if they are, I know where she got her genes from.

This was overheard on our way home from church tonight.

Loulabelle: (said with sas!) "Moooom, I know. I already know everything you say."

Z: "Oh yeah? If you already know everything, what is 100 + 100?"

L: "100"

Z: "No, 200. What is 10 + 10?"

L: "10"

Z: "No, 20. What is 4 + 4?"

L: "4"

Z: "NO. I thought you said you knew everything."

L: " I do!"

Z: "OK. What is 1000 + 30?"

L: "A lot."

Oh, girl. You are more my daughter everyday!

That is SO funny! And familiar....especially that line about knowing everything. That's Richie. He knows everything and we know nothing. And he's only 6, can you imagine what they'll be like when they are 16?
