Little Bear has to write word problems for his math class.
Word problem 1 begins 'Cotton the Cat had two tunafish sandwiches and ate 1/2 of one, and gave Shadwick 1/6 of the other."
I argued that this was a false premise, because a cat would not stop at 1/2 of a tunafish sandwich and definitely would not share with another cat.
Second word problem begins "There are 200,000 zombies in Atlanta and only 4 known survivors..."
Oh, dear.
