Eleventeen is not a number, but how do you get that through a kid?
Kid: ...twelve, thirteen, fourteen, eleventeen....
I: No, there is eleventeen. After fourteen is fifteen.
Kid: Fifteen, eleventeen...
I: No, I said there is no eleventeen! After fifteen is sixteen: fifteen, sixteen, seventeen.
Kid: Eleventeen...
I: NO! There is NO eleventeen!
Kid: Fifteen, eleventeen...
I: NO! After fifteen is sixteen, there is NO eleventeen!
Kid: fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eleventeen...
I know she's not doing it on purpose, but it seems pretty weird to me. Did I do that when I was a kid?

Don't underestimate her power of deadpan:-)
if she was intelligent enough for that she'd know not to proceed beyond my losing my patience. that would be quite the laugh, though, and i will try to get her to do that to her mother.
