How about this one? 

My mother had six sisters and each sister had seven brothers.  How many children were there in the family?

[ddurbin]

Hope this doesn't stop the thread, but I'll guess 14:  7 girls and 7 boys.

[Wilma]

You are right.  My mother used to get people confused with this one.  They couldn't comprehend that the brothers of each sister were the same.  There actually were fourteen children in my mother's family, seven girls and seven boys.  So I kind of think that she made up this one.

[Warph]

DeeGee and Frank nailed it.  Try this one.

A father gave one son 10 cents
and another son was given 15 cents.
What time is it?
