I never liked math as a kid. I’m probably still better at it than I give myself credit for, but it was never a favorite subject, ever. I used to think I was pretty smart for being able to find means medians and modes in my head like nothing.
Anyway, I think what really bothered me about math was the people aspect of it.
“What people aspect of it, Rick? It’s numbers!”
OH IS IT? IS IT JUST INCONSPICUOUS NUMBERS, READER?
Yeah well “KEIKO HAS 46 ORANGES, IF JASPER BUYS 29, HOW MANY DOES SHE HAVE LEFT?”
Thats just an example, I’m not implying a subtraction problem becomes fuckin super trigonomecalculus just because you involve someones name.
Alright, that was a bad example, hold on a second I’ll try to put it differently.
Heres one I still remember from fucking 6th grade
“MR FIDO WANTS TO BUILD A DOG RUN” and it’s got this half assed fuckin diagram of this assholes backyard, it looks like John Madden drew it up.
It’s a problem asking you to find the area or volume or some shit.
I’m not stupid, really, I guess I’m just saying I hated math enough without attaching peoples names to it. I mean seriously, whose last name is Fido these days?
I hope youre all just doin dandy.

If math were all about candy bars... I'd still hate it. ;p
