Not Taxman. He’s busy.
But AM is available. He loves calculators.
I do have a warning: Though he’s great at straight-up counting, especially to 52*, his actual math is a little…out-of-the box. There is a lot of asking about sums. Car rides are often filled with, “Ema, what does 35 and 35 make?” Etc.
This morning he did his own calculation and was so excited we had him repeat himself twice–when he’s excited he speaks quickly and swallows half his syllables.
“89 and 89 makes a million and two! Right, Ema?”
“Um, no.”
“But what does 89 and 89 make, Abba?”
“178.”
“Oh.”
I predict a job in the government. Israeli or American; either one could use a creative accountant like him.
* The number of cards in a deck. We play a LOT of Crazy Eights.
I should have caught where the 52 came from since we play a lot of cards around here too (but I didn’t). I’m sure there would be good use for a creative accountant like him!
