I wonder if this might have Swedish origin...

1 = ett
2 = två
3 = tre
4 = fyra
5 = fem
6 = sex
7 = sju
8 = åtta
9 = nio
10 = tio

Did it earlier, and thought carrot.

What if your mind went blank, couldn't think of a vegetable, forgot how to count, and all you could think of was the cold Bud resting ever so peacefully next to the mouse?

Does that mean I'm special? :)

Momma always said I was the special one.
