I have always loved Disney's Alice in Wonderland. It was my favorite movie as a child, and I can quote the entire thing along with the movie to this day. And it was not only an encouragement to my imagination, but also a learning tool! I learned how many days are in a year from the Un-birthday Party scene:Mad Hatter: "Now, statistics prove, prove that you've one birthday."
March Hare: "Imagine, just one birthday every year!"
Mad Hatter: "But there are three hundred and sixty-four un-birthdays!"
Clearly, 364 un-birthdays + 1 birthday = 365 days in a year. Is this an unusual way to learn such things? I still follow this train of thought every time I need that figure.
