Cowen struggles with math

Me: "It's the exact same type of problem as the last four that you did!"

Cowen: "I can't remember if I'm adding, distracting, or multiplying."

I can pretty much guarantee that if distracting is an option, Cowen's going to choose it.

I sympathize totally with Cowen though. I was NEVER good at math. *sigh*; April 9, 2013 at 11:58 PM

"The story is told that in ancient Rome a group of women were, with vanity, showing their jewels one to another. Among them was Cornelia, the mother of two boys. One of the women said to her, 'And where are your jewels?' To which Cornelia responded, pointing to her sons, 'These are my jewels.' They grew to be two of the most persuasive and effective reformers in Roman history. It is so obvious that the great good and the terrible evil in the world today are the sweet and the bitter fruits of the rearing of yesterday's children. As we train a new generation, so will the world be in a few years. If you are worried about the future, then look to the upbringing of your children." Gordan B. Hinckley, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
