The need to brag

My youngest, Hudson, age 6, amazed me yet again. This time with his mathematical skills. We were working on my 9 year old's homework. He had a math problem such as this: You have a calculator; the 5 key is broken; you can't add or subtract. Name 4 different ways to get the number 55. Grayson and I sat dumbfounded for a couple of minutes when Hudson piped in with "how about 110 divided by 2?" Amazing. Only 6, and he already gets it. And faster than either his mom or brother could. Most of the kids in his class can barely add, and here he is doing somewhat complicated division. I'm impressed and felt the need to brag on him.
