Here are some questions from everyday life that Steven came home from school with. Don't look them up first. Try to answer them on your own.
How many sides does a stop sign have?
Which hand does the Statue of Liberty hold the torch?
How many matches are in a matchbox?
How many sides on a pencil?
What rotation does a carousel turn?
On the Northern Hemisphere which way does water drain?
How many States are there (don't laugh some people don't know)?
What is the lowest whole number on your FM radio?
What side of the page are the even numbers on?
How many curves to a paperclip?
Which way does the slash on a NO SMOKING sign go?
On a tone phone, what two numbers do not have letters?
Good luck! Please comment with any answers you may know or want to guess at. Steven really wants to know if he can stump anyone...and if it makes you feel any better, I didn't answer them all correctly. :)
Random stuff: Did you notice the changes to my blog? Yeah, I like pink. :) One more week until Easter. I'm going to wake up and have a Diet Coke for breakfast. LOL Just kidding. I will log on to Facebook though.
