Quick Thinking

Last night, the five of us were having dinner. The twins wanted some ice cream. We told them that they each had to eat 5 pieces of chicken first. As Katie ate hers, we counted along together. As Bethie started to eat her chicken, Dan said "OK, can you count backwards this time?". Without missing a beat, Bethie turned her back to the table and counted "1,2,3,4,5". She could, in fact, count backwards!
