Yes, I willingly take 2 math exams a year, study hundreds of hours, doing math problem after math problem....
But does that mean I am good at simple math!??
NOOOOO.
Give me algebra and calculus any day.
But ask me to add big numbers together in my head.... I will most likely get it wrong, unless you give me like 2 minutes to do it!
Here is proof: <---- a typical math activity.
Leah's daycare just increased its monthly price. It used to be 1127.00 a month. (I am telling you the ridiculous number that we pay in childcare, for ONE child, because I hope some day I will look back and think, "WOW! That was cheap!")
This month it increased.
My husband and I had a little conversation last night....
Brian - I thought you said daycare went up 15 dollars?
Me - It did.
Brian - Then why did you write a check for 1132.00?
Me - Because it went up fift.... OHHHHHHH.
And therefore... I am not good at simple math.
