45 Percent

Dad asked the boys to play a new game called “guess the battery level”. Sam’s phone was surprisingly at 100%, even though not plugged in, Dad’s was 93% and Pete’s was 85%. Now it was time to guess Mom’s. Dad guessed 44%, followed by Sam guessing 45%. After hearing this, Pete guessed 46% which had Sam very annoyed, having essentially lost the game at that point. He tried to get Dad to change his guess to 47%, but Dad did not feel very honorable about doing that to Pete. Finally, the moment of truth arrived and they asked Mom to check her phone. She called out “forty five percent”. Sam and Dad went berserk. Sam had miraculously won after all. Mom must have been wondering what all the fuss was about.
