"Sevens are for Sprinkles"

Max is learning his multiplication tables in Math class. His teacher decided to test them on Tuesdays and Thursdays, one number at a time. Once the child gets 100% on a test, they will earn a piece of a banana split sundae. (4's=bowl, 5's=one scoop, etc.) When I asked Max if he was prepared for his test on sevens, his response was, "Yeah, but sevens are for sprinkles. I don't really need sprinkles." Which, of course led to a lecture on the importance of sevens...in life.

Maybe he can earn the sprinkles and then trade the sprinkles with someone for their chocolate syrup! Sevens could be mean opportunity!
