a helping hand

He was in trouble
The signs were all showing
His eyes were transfixed to the screen infront
And the frown hid his troubled eyes
He glanced downwards frantic for help
There wasn't enough to go around

I walked over briskly and squat down beside him.

"do you need to borrow my fingers?"

it was 13 + 5.

There weren't enough of them to go around.

He broke out in a smile and hit the buttons on the keyboard.

18!

sigh..what a blogspot moment!

Well, kids need concrete things to work with. Especially for Math. I will do what you did if it is a lower primary child for this particular sum. But anyone older than that, I will ask them to take off their shoes and socks to count if they need help. But kids being kids, they are just amazingly cute and innocent. Do they melt your heart?
