Friday Funny

Just thought I'd share a "Friday Funny" from my 5:45am session today with a Virginia student.  He's a 7th grader and we were working on a fractions lesson.  He was working on some improper fractions and while assessing prior knowledge, I asked him what type of fraction 7/5 was.  I was expecting him to say "improper fraction" since the numerator is bigger than the denominator.  Instead, this very awesome student told me, "It's a Dolly Parton fraction."  I couldn't fault him--the top is bigger than the bottom in that case as well.  :)  We had a good laugh about it!
