"(At my sister’s family birthday party, my dad is serving ice cream.) Dad: “Which would you like?” Aunt: “I’d like some of each.” Dad: “Okay.” *scooping out some chocolate* “Some of one…” Me: “How can you have a sum of one?” Dad: “You know, 0 + 1 equals…?” Me: “Oh. That makes sense.” Dad: “You thought I meant a sum of a single number?” Me: “Yes. That couldn’t happen.” Dad: “Well, the sum itself is a single number.” Me: “That’s not what you said though. You said ‘sum of one’.” Dad: “…with the addends being zero and one.” Me: “Yes. I already agreed that works.” (Everyone else in the family is staring at us. At this point they all start laughing.) Grandpa: “Shush! I want to see what they have to say about ‘some of the other’.”" - Betsy #TeamMonique from Bookmarklet
