Her wife (a teacher in a kindergarten) yesterday at work, one of the babysitters, Maria Vasilievna, 64, began to complain to colleagues, educators and babysitters that she is already old. In the presence of the children, colleagues began to comfort her - "no, say, you are not old, you are not so many years."
One of the teachers said, “Let’s ask the children! Children, how many years do you think Marie Vasilievne is?” The question was asked by her in consideration of the fact that this group was only recently taught to count to 20, no more numbers they do not yet understand. So, they will say about “eighteen,” the maximum – “twenty.”
raised the silence. The question for the children was obviously a surprise. And then, in silence, the timid voice of the five-year-old Irocka heard: "Three hundred?"
