Wake up Anu, Ashok, Helen & Judy, we miss your contributions and look forward to the sound of your keyboards clattering in our direction. Our topic today was chosen by Conrad.
Half Truths
How many fingers do I have?
Gosh it is a long time since I drew an outline of my hands. The crooked fingers make not a pretty picture!
Have you counted yet?
I bet you said ten!
Look again…. I make it ELEVEN!
Counting backward from the left…
Ten, nine, eight, seven six plus the five on the right hand makes ELEVEN!
Granny, I was listening all those years ago and I can hear your laughter right now.

Ah, lovely memory, Grannymar
I can definitely remember someone playing that trick on me when I was young and innocent but who it was, I’ve not a clue!

Used to turn that one on the pupils…sort of intelligence test!
It’s on a par with sharing sweets, “There’s one for you, one for me, two for you and ..one, two for me .Three for you and one two three for me…”
