After the church carnival fund raiser, while driving to school, his grandpa asked Calvin if he'd had fun.
Calvin talked about the piñatas and popping balloons and green Tootsie Rolls he got. As they neared the 2/3 mark of the trip, he was finishing up a part of his story, and asked if they were almost there...he was deciding if he had enough time to elaborate or if he should just stop there. Halei (Calvin's sister) told him we were not almost there, so he continued...
Calvin: We got money to buy things, not real money, just pretend toy money. I had six dollars. I got two toys and one for Aiden. Halei didn't get anything.
I got a plane... no...it was a helicopter. That was three dollars. Then a Tyranasauraus Rex, that was one dollar so I still had two dollars. Then I got a snappy thing that you snap with your thumb and put it in the floor and it jumps. I gave that to Aiden. When I had three dollars I wanted a gorilla, but that was eight dollars and I needed five more...
Halei: He's good with math.
Calvin: ?! I thought it was numbers. I didn't KNOW it was math... what's math?
