I don't know why, but when I was first learning to count it went like this : 1... 2... 3 ...4... 5 ...6 ...7... 8... 9... 10 ...11 ....12 ....30... 31... 32 ...33 .....
I can't remember why I thought you went from 12 to 30 but I counted like that for almost a year till my dad told me the correct way....
