Dedicated to Kate's Outnumbered Aunts

From a conversation on the way to school that started with Kate pointing out a 12-passenger van and ended with a multiplication lesson.

Dad: How many kids are in your family, including you?

Kate: Three!

Dad: So daddy grew up with nine kids in his family. How many families is that?

Kate [a little more solemn]: Three. But let's count the girls. How many girls?

Dad: Two.

Kate [now holding her fingers to understand this visually, pauses and almost gasps]: Only two?
