Was anyone as clueless as I was, way back then, to think that eleventeen was a real number??

Di, it brings to mind a young girl I'm teaching at school who does not recognize her numbers, knows them by rote of course! I've been saying the 14 15 16 17 18 19 are all the last number with the teen on the end.....she's worked them out but the 11 12 + 13 how does one explain those!
Why are they not oneteen, twoteen and threeteen!
I have an eleventeen grandson at home!

What a hoot. No wonder you chose that screen name!
