"Multiples of five are crazy."
This is what Gray said to me this morning. I was baffled. For one thing, I had no idea he knew what a multiple was. But mostly because I just didn't understand why he would say they were crazy. So I give him that "I don't understand...could you please explain?" look.
He just points across the room to where his brother and sister are in the midst of silly fit. It took me a second to comprehend, but then it clicked...Max is 5 and Annie is 10.
Couldn't argue with his conclusions.

Sometimes it might be important to me, I suppose...but even that's not guaranteed.
