revena: Text reads: Intellect (Ravenclaw R)
Some of you may be aware that I tutor a seven-year-old in math and reading. Those of you who know this probably also know that while her reading is ok, and getting better all the time, her math skills (or the lack thereof) frequently leave me baffled. A week ago, we seriously spent twenty minutes going over how one ten and two ones is the same as twelve. I explained it, repeated it, asked her what one ten and two ones equalled, and she said... "Nine?" Her next guess was "Eleven?"

So anyway, I was just whining to [livejournal.com profile] tdj, and:

Me: *stares blearily into middle distance*
Me: I hate Mondays
Him: It draws to a close.
Me: yeah, but I've still got tutoring
Him: D'oh!
Me: yeah
Me: with the ever-amusing "what does one ten and two ones equal?" problem
Him: Bring dolls. Ten dolls becomes a "clique".
Me: *laugh*
Me: "What's one clique plus two dolls?"
Him: Bingo!
Me: "Two broken-hearted outcasts?"
Him: Math ~and~ anthropology.
