My 5 yr old wants to know...
What 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + couch equals. I told her 28 couch, but she was unsatisfied with that answer. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks! :hi:

6. That would entail explaining "sectional"
Which would mean getting into some kind of macro-evolutionary theory or something, knowing her... :D

4. 28 couch is incorrect.
That assumes you are multiplying 28 and couch.

:D
