I was surrounded by around three to four kids when I went to Thirupati. I always feel happy when I am with them because they talk so nicely and most of the times do something which makes you laugh like nothing. But they are talented and I fell for one thing easily. One of the kid (my cousin’s son) said that he will make me say 35. I said try it with smile in my face thinking how will he make me say that. He first asked me to tel the answer for 10+10. I said 20. Then he asked the answer for 20+10. I said its 30. Then he asked what is the answer for 30+4. I said 34. He said “now you said it”. I said “I said only 34 and when did I said 35 (I fell for his simple trick)”. I never expected him to play like that. So you see I made a fool out of myself. After that there was another kid (son of another cousin 
hehehe). He was younger than the first kid and said that he will make me say 100. So I knew the trick and after some steps he asked me what is the answer of 95+5. I said its 99+1. Hehehe. Kids are great and make your time go away like nothing when they are near you.

They didn’t fool him, he’s just doing this so that he isn’t on a trip to the cornfield.
@ Aravindhan

@ Harish

Dai Marc. I never said that I am genius when it comes to Math. I just love it. Thats all.
@ George
Well I think you are right partially. They didn’t fool me. I just made them think that they made a fool out of me. Lol
hi vinod,
u have an interesting blog. And kids are anytime welcome entertainment. And nowadays the present generation of kids are smarter than ever before with so much media exposure happening. Good or worse time will only tell.
@ Malesh
Thanks buddy. I think you are from Sivakasi.
You said 99-1? Lucky the kid didn’t spot that!
You should try and play the game with Raja Deepak. Here is how it’d probably go:
I’m going to make you say 35.
No, I will not say 35.
There! You said it.
@ Sundar
That was a typo. Edited it. Well I think Raja will make a fool out of us if we try to make a fool out of him
