Hey, I'm with the kid, twenteen makes WAYYY more sense than twelve, makes total sense to me
I witnessed this when I was sitting in on one of my husband's classes (during a free hour of mine) and it was amazing. The kid realized his mistake right after this and thought it was hilarious, he kept bringing it up later ^_^Enjoy!
