Math musings
January 12, 2012
Annie: Mama, I hate regrouping.
Me: Whhhyyyyyy? Regrouping is like a tiny little math party happening on your paper. Everyone is all moving around – talking to new numbers – changing their outfits.
Annie: 0_0
Annie: Mama. Regrouping is not a math party.
Me: Is too.
Annie: OK. Then it’s a math party where one of the party numbers dies right before it was supposed to do the big entertaining show of the party. And now everyone is sad. And cry-babying.
Score
Annie:1
Mama:0

Omg, that is so funny! Why aren’t you out there teaching in our schools, Amy? Or publishing a Hilarious Hillis series??! Thank you for a great laugh;)
You are too kind, Alexia. And it’s really the kids who are funny. I just have to record it…or no one would believe me later when I tell these stories.
