Oh honey, addition wasn't "invented" like some fancy new gadget. It's just a basic math operation that humans figured out to combine numbers and make life easier. Someone probably realized they had two apples and two more apples, put them together, and thought, "Hey, that's four apples!" And just like that, addition was born.
