We were sitting at the dinner table last night and I was talking to Leah about her upcoming math program for the new homeschool year. She got a concerned look on her face and said, "When I went to the movies with Aunt Deanna there was a commercial about math. It said that math ruins lives. Maybe I should stop doing it."
I was really confused for a few seconds and trying to imagine the actuality of an anti-math commercial in the movies. Surely not, I thought. Then I tried to rewind my brain and think of the last movie experience I had and the infomercials that played before it came on and it hit me. "Oh! No no no, Leah Beah. That commercial was about METH. Meth is a drug that ruins lives. They weren't talking about MATH."
"Oooooohhhhh." She slowly replied. Then she looked a little disappointed and added, "Well, that's too bad. Does that mean we still have to learn it?"
