Letter Recognition

Adventures in parenting - trying to keep the facts straight. He was looking at a puzzle that had the pieces numbered, so I knew he had a number but I couldn't see which piece or number it was. 

Explanation: "C" and "see" sound the same. 

Text:
O: What letter is this?
L: It's a number.
O: oOoh, what number is this?
L: Buddy, I can't see.
O: oOoh, C!
L: ... NO.

Counting Order

 

Happy Birthday to my brother! He has his degree in accounting, so maybe he can help my preschooler get her numbers straight. Ha, the other day my kids were playing dress-up and they were a prince and princess and for whatever reason, Robin was getting Ori to count to ten and he had his numbers all over the place so she very sweetly said "my prince, you are not very good at counting; you need to go to school" and he agreed. 

Text:
R: eleven, twelve, fourteen, sixteen, fifteen, nineteen, twenty!
L: That's not in the right order.
R: But it's my order?

Odd Numbers

 

I attempted finger guns in this comic, and I'm undecided on them. It's an extra layer of detail since my stick figures don't have distinct fingers normally, but I felt they were necessary to get this feeling across. Also, the smiley face emoji since the stick figures don't have facial features. 

Text:
A: I need to score 267 points to get the reward.
B: 267? That's an odd number :) *finger guns*

500th

Try saying those out loud :)
My first comic was posted just under two years ago (5/4/12), and now I'm up to 500. That's pretty cool. Here's to the next 500!
