Onety

Ashir is learning to count and recognize numbers. He had a good handle till 30 and then his Mommy took him all the way to 100. Looks like he developed some logic in his mind to recognize the numbers pretty fast.
Yesterday, Neena asked me to test his number recognition. I started writing on a practice white-board and he did pretty well... until...

I wrote "49"
"Forty Nine"
"Good", now I wrote "64"
"Sixty four"
"82"
"Eighty Two"
"97"
"Ninety Seven"
I was wowed, then..
"13"
"Onety-Three"
"17"
"Onety-Seven"
I understood his newly built logic and then wrote
"40"
Sure enough came the expected answer
"Forty-zero"
