I. Hate. Math.

I.

Hate.

Math.

Specifically.

Geometry.

Thank you.

Oh my goodness, I feel so much better now!!!!!

One of the "perks" of homeschooling your children is being able to teach them useless information and then wonder if they'll ever use it someday. One of the other "perks" is having to seriously answer their "Will I ever use this?" question with a straight face and an enthusiastic "Absolutely."

Now, everybody knows that Geometry has its place. I happen to think that its place should be down the street far away from me. I also happen to think that it's good for everybody else to know it but not something that I need to know. That's because I never liked Geometry (even though it speaks very highly of me) and now I have to teach it. Sigh.

I also know that Geometry is really necessary if........ummmm......you want to build Geome trees or something....... Because you can never have to many......ummmmmm......Geome's. Ya know?

What is it good for? Seriously. You can't cook it. You can't eat it. You can't wear it. You can't drive it. What's it good for? Anybody? Hello?

The other thing is that there are people out there that actually understand Math. They love Math. They think it's fun. Fun!!!!!! And how my children can get A's in it is beyond me. But that's good. Maybe they can teach me.

Join with me now. Come on, don't be shy. I'll even help you out. Take a deep breathe and say "I hate ___________ (fill in the blank)."

There, don't you feel better now? You're welcome!

By the way, this post is purely for fun. I don't really hate Geometry. In fact, just yesterday we were sitting together having a wonderful time. We talked and laughed and shared old memories. It was really quite nice. We'll have to do it again sometime.
