(Mommy, Daddy, and Jonathan)
J:  May I please have a tortilla.  May I please have a BIG circle.
M:  How about a half circle.
J:  How about a quarter circle!
(M gives quarter circle to J.)
D:  Where did you learn about quarter circles?  Jonathan, a quarter circle is the same as 25%.  Can you say 25%?
J:  Twenty-five percent.
D:  And half a circle is 50%.  Can you say 50%?
J  Fifty percent.
D:  And if you had the whole circle, that would be called 100%!!!  Can you say 100%?
J:  One hundred percent.  (Shaking tortilla) TORTILLAS WIGGLE!

Laughed out loud J-man! Your math sounds similar to how I approach it at work. If A=B and B=C, then TORTILLAS WIGGLE!
Just keep telling the big people what they want to hear, and keep focusing on the important, wiggly things in life.
