# How Many Blocks

Like most new computer owners, I was testing my new equipment with some games. My fun was interrupted, though, when I realized that I was being watched. As I turned, I was confronted by my five year-old daughter, Scooter. Wearing a sad face and eyes that reminded me of a beagle puppy, she muttered, “How ’bout me?” Needless to say, I was at a loss for words because there do not seem to be many programs available for her age bracket. The obvious solution was to write a program just for her.
