Math genius baby

Dominic is practicing the 2 x multiplication table Chinese style (i.e., pronouncing '2 2 4', '2 3 6', '2 4 8', '2 5 10', etc., instead of the cumbersome Western style of '2 times 2 equals 4', '2 times 3 equals 6', etc.)

Sammy picks up the recurring 2's and shouts 'two!'. We pick up the theme:

Daddy: Sammy, what is 1 + 1?

Sammy: Two!

Daddy: 4 / 2?

Sammy: Two!

Daddy: What is the square root of 4?

Sammy: Two!

Daddy: 60,000 / 30,000?

Sammy: Two!

Daddy: Decimal equivalent of binary 10?

Sammy: Two!
