Maths is fun!

My teenager is very annoyed with me right now 馃ズ Despite having had the whole weekend to complete her maths assignment, she has left it until 7.00pm on Sunday evening. Of course I will help her with any questions she has. But that does not extend to doing the whole exercise myself. According to my girl this is unfair and illogical because I love maths and am good at it, therefore the sum of human happiness in our household will increase if I just get on and do it. Not falling for that one, I'm still an out of pocket creditor for similar services rendered 20 years ago at school without a proper contract 馃え

She is sitting on the floor with her back to me and my wife. Shoulders hunched, brow furrowed, muttering darkly to herself. But most importantly she is putting pen to paper. We are trying hard not to laugh 馃榿

I loved math in school. I still do actually. At least numbers never lie to you.

@Musicman Precisely! She has to calculate the number of squares on a chessboard. She googled the answer first of all but is disgruntled that she has to show her workings 馃槄

For the teenage me this would have been a pretty fun Sunday evening 馃ぃ

@SunshineGirl I had to work as a kid. Come Sunday night I was ready to rest and watch TV.

@Musicman Normally she's done and dusted by Friday evening, but we had quite a lot on this weekend.
