Counting Christmas Lights

In the spirit of Christmas (and being the typical Chinese parent with the need for her child to excel in math), I started having big sister K count the number of houses she saw that had Christmas lights on during the car ride home.  The first time she did it, this was the conversation that followed:

Big sister K: 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6...
Me: Wait, wait wait!  You're only supposed to count if you see Christmas lights on the houses!
Big sister K: But mommy, I do see Christmas lights!
Me: You do??  How come I don't see as many as you do?
Big sister K: Mommy, you're driving!  You're busy paying attention to the road!
