Did you know that I, Fenway Bartholomule, have some of the best human grannies in the whole wide world? Well, now you do. My human Granny Joan loves animals so much that she is even bringing a scraggly little kitten back to Washington from…
A big step

Solution: "I have 42 mules. I get 53 more. How many mules do I have now?" …
