Jordan and Math

I was helping Jordan with his math homework tonight. The boy really does not like math. He is very against it and it can be very maddening as his parent. Diana and I try to be good and helpful and teach him what he needs to know. Let me tell you what happened tonight. We got to a division problem. 20 divided by 3. The answer is 6.666666666666 - infinity. So I say the answer is 6.666666666666666666 and I say like 15 sixes. Jordan starts writing and is like, "So how many 6's is it?" I say, "It is actually 6's to infinity." Jordan does not miss a beat, looks and me and says, "I am not going to start writing those tonight."

Hilarious. Maddening.

At least I get a blog post out of it.
