Scene: I am decorating DH's birthday cake in the kitchen. BigBro is working on a math page in the adjoining family room. LilBro is playing with cars in the entryway between the kitchen and family room.
BigBro: Hey, LilBro, how many times does 8 go into 51?
LilBro: Ummm.... [thoughtful pause] Six?
I drop the decorating bag, walk around the corner and look at BigBro. He shrugs his shoulders at me, while looking at LilBro with nothing short of amazement on his face.
BigBro and Mom, simultaneously: LilBro, that's right! Great job!
Mom (to self): Could my three year old actually be doing division in his head?
BigBro: Hey, LilBro, how many times does 8 go into 30?
LilBro (with confidence): Ten.
Mom (to self): Phew!
