Math Crash

November 19th, 2006 at 09:48 am

From Rosemary Wells' book My Kindergarten:

Miss Cribbage asks me to write the number 95 on the board.
I can't do it.
Odysseus writes it instead.
I begin to cry. I have forgotten what every single number looks like.
Diane Duck and Louise sit with me until I stop crying.
"I do not want there to be any more numbers. There are too many," I tell them.
That night at home, Papa agrees with me about too many numbers. He sits at his desk and closes the checkbook and stacks the bills.
"When all the numbers in the world gang up and land on you, punching and crunching," says Papa, "it's called a math crash!"
"How do you fix math crashes?" I ask.
"I run around the house ten times and take a hot bath and they go away," Papa answers.
