Please help before I go totally daft lol :)

A kid want a top that costs £97, so he borrows £50 from mum and £50 from dad, he buys the shirt and has £3 change, so he give his mum £1 back and his dad £1 back and keeps £1, this means he now owes each of them £49.

£49+£49=£98+ the £1 he kept =£99, where is the other £1?????????? Xx

It's a bit like the old one where you declare you have eleven fingers.

 

Hold one hand up.. and drop one finger at a time starting at ten,... nine,... eight, seven, six......then hold the other hand up and say plus another five...that makes eleven!

 

Sleight of words!
