Counting with Rimi

I was over at a friend's house for sushi last night. He is an English teacher at a "cram" school and has two daughters, both of whom I teach at elementary and junior high school. Rimi, his youngest daughter, was challenged to count to one hundred in English by another ALT that was visited their house. She bravely took on the challenge (ah...the lack of self-consciousness of children!). She perfectly recited one through ninety-nine (the pace got considerably slower the higher she went!). Here's how the end of her counting went:

Rimi: Ninety-seven, ninety-nine- no- ninety-eight, ninety-nine.......(long pause)........October!!!

How cute : )
