...and Younger Daughter is just beginning Algebra I.
I was working a math problem with Younger Daughter when Older Daughter suddenly said, “You have no idea how hard it is to read Shakespeare when you’re talking math. This is what I just read: ‘If my observation, which very seldom lies, 6x + 1 is greater than -2x + 5, by the heart's still rhetoric disclosed with eyes, Deceive me not now, Navarre is infected…’”
Yeah, I could see how that would be confusing.
Made me laugh! I could never read Shakespeare in high school, so I saved my money and bought all his works including poetry on 33-1/3 records. All the famous actors and actresses of the day were recorded. Each record came with a book of the manuscripts. Could never bear to throw them out, (they have moved six times along with me) so now they are sitting in my attic. I don't even have a record player anymore....
ReplyDeleteWell... you don't have to read Shakespeare and do math all in the same room, do you? Very funny! I taught math in the Army, but I think I would rather have taught English Lit! Hehehe... --Fred in AZ
