Discussing Probability...

I am teaching my students about probability, and start explaining what the term "likely" meant. Once I was pretty confident that all the kids were getting it, I asked for them to give me some examples of things that were more likely to happen than not. Grant says, "That the police will come knock on our door soon."

WOW....it is so common that you are expecting it...AT TEN YEARS OLD.
