The 7-year-old followed up this performance by taking at least two minutes to answer the question, “What’s 9 minus 7?”
Math isn’t her strongest subject, but she compounds the mistakes by just yelling out random numbers until she (hopefully) hits the correct answer.
Every time either of the kids gets an answer wrong that a child their age should know, I try to give them the benefit of the doubt.
The past year of schooling has been unlike any school year ever, and, honestly, I’m not even sure what a 10-year-old and 7-year-old should and shouldn’t have a firm grasp on anymore.
I’m 43 and don’t know everything I should know.
The one thing I do know is that you always get the chicken strips with a side of barbeque sauce.

Other Stuff I Did When I Wasn’t Writing Notes
- Over at my day job, I wrote about how I can’t fall asleep without watching Bob Ross.
- I wrote about a kid who was fired from his job at a paint store for being too passionate about his job.
- The holidays are coming. Money is tight. I spoke to a banking and investment expert about saving for holiday gifts when you don’t make much money.
- On the “We Run This” podcast, we spoke to Makenna Myler. She’s won a bet with her husband by running a 5:25 mile while 9 months pregnant. She rocks.
