Negative numbers. I just asked if there were numbers below zero when I was like 4, and my mom about pissed herself. Not that it stopped her from homeschooling me into ignorance instead.

It's alright, I asked why Santa would get me presenrs for Christmas and not my parents; was about 4.... My dad still doesn't like me today. Might be different reasons, but he has never said hahaha
