Duh, Mr. B

The other day I ask my students if they would rather have no thumbs or only one hand. All of my students answer that they would rather have no thumbs. They did admit that it would be difficult but that they could still play video games and do some things. When G., a ninth grade boy, got his turn he said, "I'd rather only have one hand." Kinda surprised I asked him, "Why?" He looks at me as if he could not believe that I had to ask...he says, "Duh, Mr. B. You couldn't count to five if you only had four fingers!"

After I caught my breath from laughing I thanked him for his answer.
