IAM the biggest idiot of all.

your husband was a fun guy like my son and my late hubby was to. sounds like what one of them would say. iam glad im not alone with being mathematically challenged.

Oh hahah I diodn't catch it at first....I didn't get that you said rooster. There it was , right in front of me and I didn't even see it. Don't feel too bad my sweet...I honestly don't think any one of us here is brilliant. We're just ordinary folk love.

iam just the easiest person to fool i think. believe it because it took me a couple minutes and that look from my son that says "awe come on mom." to realize what he was saying about the rooster.

im sure you could. but could you feed this guy is the question. sometimes i think thats why he eats so much. gotta feed that brain. yes, he did ask hadnt i taken algebra and i said no, i was ditsy then to and got pregnant and dropped out of school. but glad now, since i wouldnt have him if i hadnt.

I graduated but I avoided all the math classes! I took what I had to so I could graduated! Although my senior year I ended up in 3 math classes, but they were all business math, no algebra and all that stuff, so I was ok. I could feed him! The question is could he stand my cooking? My husband complains about everything! BUT MY CHURCH loves my cooking! So I don't think it is me! My daughter says if there is any flavor to the food , dad doesn't like it!

Having been a student and a teacher, my experience says that sometimes it is the teacher who makes a student love or hate a subject. I was a whiz at Math and loved Math all the way upto 10th grade and then we had the most horrible teacher (who funnily some students loved) and I hated Math the last two years of school. Imagine Math being taught like a lecture!! And she would write all that at the same speed on the board and erase it even before I had digested it and figured it out!

well when i was a kid in school my math teachers hated me. i had to struggle with it all. when it came to language or spelling i was really good. not so much any more tho this son just is good with it all and i just dont know from whence it came

i just feel like the person that said better to say nothing then to open my mouth and show what an idiot iam.

tHAT AGGRAVATES THE CRAP OUT OF ME WHEN THAT HAPPENS. My sons like to tease me sure yours does to. I don't like it when people talk down to me tho.

well i had a long response and mylot just did a hiccup and not only lost it but i couldnt get back for a few son doesnt rub it in, in fact he says theres things i know he dont and he admires. im sure your sons know the same about you.

I got it wrong it is 1, in any given year a person has 1 birthday, thus the average is 1, tricked a lot of people. So well done my friend!

uuuummm. how ever many yrs they live? see still cant do it. or maybe its 1? because thats how many times you are born? im lost here.

i wonder if there could be something to that now....hhhmm..i was blonde when i was little, and my son has always had dark hair from the native american heritage. so there, im a blonde inside i guess, since now my hair is grey/white, etc.

you are welcome. i guess someone is always thinking up a way to make us think. problem is, im not so good at it some days

Awwww thank you! You are a dear friend too! And yeah, I'm getting better. In fact, I am better, the infection is finally gone but the doctor wants me to continue the antibiotic for another 10 days just to be sure. I'm VERY grateful for that! I've been sick for almost a month! That's the longest EVER that I've been sick! It really took the wind out of my sails, let me tell you! Whew! Now I'm working on my strength which I'm getting stronger and stronger each day by doing little things around the house. I'm too afraid to go out in public because of having lupus, I could catch something that's going around so easily so it's best that I stay home. If I need anything hubby goes and gets it and then he sprays down with lysol to be sure he brings nothing home to me. Oh this winter weather is about to drive me insane because it's too cold to go outside even to just sit on the porch so I'm kind of going stir crazy, if you know what I mean. lol I'll be doing some discussions in the near future for I have a few things to tell about so be on the lookout! lol Hugs!!

to you to. so nice to see you back here. i hope you are getting better. you are a dear friend indeed.

Once when my son was a toddler he had told me there was a fire. I asked him to show me where. He lead me outside and then back in about half way up the stairs he pointed to the wall and said "right there". I just shrugged it of because there was no fire there. But a few weeks later there was a fire and the place he pointed to there was a big black spot. They do say that most people are like that but because nobody pays attention to it that we kind of out grow it.

i have no idea where he gets it. hes always been like that and also has a good thing with forseeing stuff sometimes. like when he was little. we were driving somewhere and he said since its so cold out, (ohio winter) i hope we dont have a flat ire. and 5 minutes later, a we had a flat! he was 7yrs at the time. i said please dont ever say such a thing again

me to. and that reminds me of another thing i read recently. this woman said the reason why she was so fat is because her head got so full of knowledge the extra had to spread into her body. thats my excuse and im sticking to it.

That's a good one! I will have to steal that from time to time. LOL

yep my friend had me going for a while to. till son figured it out

wish i knew from whence it comes. my dad was the only other math whiz in the family. must be him.

i know. sometimes i wonder about when we had kids did our smarts leave and go into their brains. cant pull much over on them.

yes thats true. but everyone has their own thing they are smart about. like he admits there are things i know more about also.
