The first grade teacher Miss Johanson asked Little Bennie, "Bennie if I gave you two bunnies, and then two more bunnies and then two more bunnies, how many would you have?" Bennie replied, "Seven bunnies, Miss Johanson."
The teacher asked again, "Listen Bennie, If I gave you two bunnies, plus two more bunnies, plus two more bunnies, how many bunnies would you have altogether?" Bennie smiled, "That's easy, Teacher, I would have seven."
"Ok Bennie," Miss Johanson said. "Let's try it a different way. If I gave you two cans of Coke, plus two more cans of Coke, plus two more cans of Coke. How many cans of Coke would you have?"
"Six cans," Bennie answered.
"OK," said the teacher. "Now think of that with this question. If I gave you two bunnies, then two more bunnies, then two more bunnies, how many would you have?" "Seven, Teacher." Bennie replied.
Exasperated, Miss Johanson asked, "Why seven?" Bennie replied, "Because I already have one bunny at home!"
