Yesterday we were in the car doing some of our crazy fun math questions, for example, "Every time you shoot the ray gun, you destroy 43,472 planets. How many planets do you destroy when you shoot the ray gun zero times?"
I threw in the following "math question" as I was driving: "Jadon is playing a joke, & he changes all his car's controls & wires. When you push the radio button, the car turns right. When you turn on the light, the windshield wiper fluid comes out. When you push the brake, the fan goes on. And so on with the rest of the controls. So when Jadon's wife is pregnant & about to have her baby, how do they get to the hospital?"
"Um, we walk?" he says sheepishly.
So I corrected him with the answer: "No, 9-1-1!!!" (I'd like to see him try to live that down if he really made her walk to the hospital to have their baby!)
So then Jadon, thinking a bit & wanting to one-up me with a crazy math problem of his own, asked me another question as follows, "If you see a man on fire, & you want to shoot a cannonball at him, what do you do?"
I didn't have a clue.
He explained, "You call 1-1-9. You see, calling 9-1-1 rescues people! And calling 1-1-9 murders people."
Gotta make sure I'm dialing correctly next time I need to make a call.
