Fractions

It was Wednesday evening and Ankit asked Mummy how many days is it to Friday (because he is supposed to go to a field trip on Friday).

Mummy: "One and a half days"
Ankit: "That means two days"
Mummy: "How?"
Ankit: "If you take One and cut it into half you get two".
Mummy: "That is not what I meant, I meant One and a half"
Ankit: "No. You take One apple, and you cut into half, so now you have two"
Papa: "Ok Ankit. When you want two cookies, we will take one cookie and break it into half. So you will have two cookies".
Ankit (pouting) : "NO! You dont break a cookie"
