fun with numbers

Thing1 was counting his pistachios today. It went like this:
"1...2...3..."
This is where I started paying attention. Never before has he counted beyond three with any success. This is where he starts saying random numbers.
"4...5...6...7..."
At is point I'm psyched.
"8...9...10"
Now I'm staring at him, bug eyed with my hand covering my mouth trying to stifle a laugh becaue I'm so happy but I don't want to interrupt.
"...11...6"
I can't hold in it anymore.
"Are you laughing at me?"
