During a lively math lesson, the teacher decided to test both arithmetic skills and quick thinking. She turned to the class and asked,
“If you had eleven dollars and I asked you for a loan of six dollars, how much would you have left?”

Most students started counting silently in their heads, some whispering numbers under their breath. But Little Johnny didn’t hesitate for even a second.

“Eleven dollars,” he answered confidently.

The teacher paused, clearly surprised. Thinking Johnny had misunderstood the problem, she tried again, more slowly this time.
“Johnny, if you had eleven dollars and I asked you for six, how would you still have eleven left?”

Johnny shrugged, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.
“Because you can ask all you want,” he said, “but that doesn’t mean you’re getting it!”

The class burst into laughter, and even the teacher had to fight a smile. The math lesson may not have gone exactly as planned, but Johnny had just delivered a perfect lesson of his own—one about logic, confidence, and knowing when to hold on to what’s yours. 😄😂🤣
