kudos to mi madre

My mom rocks...I'm sitting at her house cruising the internet on her laptop trying to teach her pre-algebra. I think she is on the verge of poking me in the eye with her very trendy mechanical pencil, but never fear i have my spectacles on. It is amazing to me, the knowledge that we take for granted. Honestly, we don't realize it until we have teach someone else that knowledge. I learned algebra in about sixth grade...so there has been alot of math base built on top of that. Explaining the simplicities of pre-algebra is like pulling my wisdom teeth with a spoon...but anything for my mom.
She has worked so hard to make sure her kids got a good education and were able to attain there dreams whatever they may be. Pharmacy school, the Navy, ski lift operator, forklift driver, gypsy-she never told us we couldn't do something just encouraged us to do more. Now she has moved on to making her dreams come true, I am so proud of her. She has been going to college a few towns over and is doing fantastic. She works so hard and is so neurotic, but she gets better grades than I ever will. Did I mention that she works fulltime? I know that there are many people who do this but they are not my mother.

...remember to use a comma, why are there only odd numbered answers in the solution manual, who told you it worked like that, is there a rule, mean?, median?...prealgebra musings from mom...

Honestly, if she knew I was writing about her while she sat next to me, I would lose my other eye. ;)
