Scene (and heard) the other day at home
[begin loop]
Mrs. Porcupyn: Katya, if you have three apples and you ask me for two more apples, how many apples do you have?
Katya: Three.
[end loop]
Once the above loop played over twice and tinges of exasperation started creeping into Mrs. Porcupyn's voice, I had to swing into action.
Porcupyn: Katya, if you have three apples and you ask Amma for two more apples <em>and she gives them to you</em>, how many apples do you have?
Katya [After pondering over the matter at hand for the appropriate amount of time a kid her age would/should]: Five.
