The wisdom of a 9-year-old, or, I am three halves of a person

S. informed me today that my body has "three halves": my top half, my bottom half, and my stomach, which allegedly is large enough to count as "a half" all on its own.
The question is, do I break the news to my math genius of a daughter that she is not nearly as good at fractions as she thinks she is?
Or maybe she really *is* good at fractions. And instead of occasionally explaining to people that "I'm just one man," I should tell them, "I'm just one and a half men."
