Math: the three year old version

Today I told Ms. A she was a fantastic mathematician.  Here is why:

A: Mom, will you carry me down the steps in the basket? It is my pirate ship and I need to sail to pick up tinkerbell.

Me: No A, you are too heavy.

A: Hmm... Mom, which weighs more baby J or the basket?

Me: ? Baby J weighs more.

A: Good! That's what I thought.  You carry J and me down the steps, so you can carry me in the basket.

Me: Good problem solving mathematician!   Hop in the basket.

We did make it down safely.  FYI.
