My 8 year old son, Wyatt, just came to me
with something he didn't understand on his
math work-sheet.
I cringed a little when he asked me
for my help-
I'm terrible at math!!
Yes, even second grade math can stump me!!
LOL
Anyway-
on the worksheet there was a
a little oblong box with two dots
on top of each other in
the middle and he needed to write in
this box what "A quarter after three o'clock"
looks like.
Well, I just could NOT get it!!
Wyatt was at a loss too.
I kept thinking-
"How do we put the hands of a clock in
this oblong box with these two dots inside it?"
Geeeze-
after about 10 minutes
I realized the little oblong box was for
a digital clock!!
All Wyatt had to do was write a 3 on the
left side of the dots and 15
on the right side of the dots!!
Man, I am getting too friggin old!!
