Out of the Mouths of my Babes

Darcy: "I just don't get this division stuff."

Me: "Well, let's put it this way. Let's say you have 49 pieces of candy and there are five people that want some. How many pieces of candy would each person get?"

Darcy: (working the problem) "9 pieces?"

Me: "Yes, but there is a remainder. Each person gets 9 pieces of candy, but there four pieces are leftover."

Darcy: "For me!"
