Well, I thought so.

Anyway, okay, great! Sounds good.

Still sticking with the math one. In fact, I plan on wearing it to the next parent-teacher conference.

I thought it was kind of humorous that someone named JerZ is talking about t-shirts.

The math joke around my house is the response "that's like half!" to any statistic. The origination is that once at a concert I was in a ladies' room and heard one woman exclaim to another "I got a 20% raise! That's like half!". I don't think she was kidding.

Oh ha ha ha...that random chick and I are sisters under the skin. ^

What I don't know about math is...scary. I honestly have called my sister in tears over fifth grade math homework. Even my son wasn't as flustered about it as I was.

By contrast, I call my DH Rain Man because he does weird math in his head randomly (and he's always correct). He'll start in on "You know, as of today, we're 46% closer to going on vacation than we were last Thursday when we first started talking about it" and I'll say, "Eighty-two, eighty-two, eighty-two."

LOL@ the shirt comment. I didn't think of that.
