oh! re the Thor knows X=7, well i went to quiz him on it, and he said oh It's 7 mostly. Sometimes. So I make up a simple equation like X+ 3 = 5 and he got it straight away, so i did a few more.... so then I said OK, smarty-pants, try these:
X + Y = 5 X * Y = 6 and he solved it straight away. (X= 2, Y=3, not sure what would have happened if I'd asked if X can be 3....) so we got a bit more complex.... up to X + Y = 13, X * Y = 42 which he got right after a couple of trial X's because he couldn't remember what times what was 42 other than 2 * 21... I was pretty impressed given that he hadn't encountered that type of problem before.

Wow.
I'm telling you, he and my 7 year old niece... They got interim reports and she got her normal straight As. Plus she's a cutie!

I'll be crackers. But he's eating them with the cheap wine, so I won't win.

I won! I won glatt's game!
Ok. I can't really say anything about today, because nothing much has happened today. So I'm going to expand it to this past week. This past week, I: 1. Had my rubber gloved hand up to my elbow in the sewer pipe under our toilet removing a foreign object from the pipe. 2. I saw a guy on my 7:30 AM Metro train commute drinking from a large can of malt liquor. 3. I interviewed an attractive 20 something woman for a position requiring Norwegian language skills. 4. I made a Swedish Fish costume with my daughter out of carpet padding and red spray paint. |
