My Child & I

Mom is checking firstborn's practice-test answers.

Question: How many carrots did the rabbit have for dinner?

Answer: 3

Mom: " Um..., you need to write, The rabbit had three carrots for dinner."

Firstborn: "Long or short, that's still the right answer!"

Mom: "Only in Maths problems, you can answer with a single number like 3"

Firstborn: "Shall I then spell it as T-h-r-e-e?"

Mom: "You have to write a sentence with rabbit and carrot, Kanna..."

Firstborn: "But that's already in the question , why say it again?"

And the argument continues!
