The Math problem is crazy. And here I am thinking that only Singapore produces such crazy Math problem for our Primary school kids. <br /><br />I know how to solve that problem! lol... I used to teach Math though I'm really bad at it and always knew that I was meant to teach English. <br /><br />I can't believe you actually called up the butcher shop to find the answer. Haha... such math problem seem very illogical in our real world. I bet there were lots of question marks above the butcher's head.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904020480081426344.post-18094823313525551502011-10-25T01:16:04.539-05:002011-10-25T01:16:04.539-05:00Oh GOD!

My mind used to blank out so bad whenever I'd hear or see a math problem. <br /><br />I think it's wonderful when people remember you for babysitting them so long ago. I used to babysit this little girl and her brother. They were crazy (I always got the crazy kids) and sometimes I'd think that they didn't like me. But years later they remember me and their dad told me that they miss me after all this time. It makes me happy to know that they looked up to me and enjoyed my time :)<br /><br />xoxo<br /><br />Azuazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886773155706485752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904020480081426344.post-73994381225657485422011-10-24T22:05:25.967-05:002011-10-24T22:05:25.967-05:00haha- oh no, I fear the day the little ones I used...haha- oh no, I fear the day the little ones I used to babysit come back to haunt me!

I LOVED Gayatri's comment of having worked the puzzle out haha I read it and had your sentiment of "what the eff this kid was in year FOUR for goodness sake". Its lovely that your 'kids' recognise you all these years later and only have fond memories, speaks wonders of you.<br /><br />Anna xo<br /><br />http://www.lifesshinyprettythings.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753546056933516349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904020480081426344.post-2775088740493200462011-10-24T21:18:18.369-05:002011-10-24T21:18:18.369-05:00what a cheap mom. give her 2/3 and she only pays y...what a cheap mom. give her 2/3 and she only pays you for 1/2!-E-https://www.blogger.com/profile/05375171079121062220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904020480081426344.post-7124777774900845442011-10-24T20:52:57.237-05:002011-10-24T20:52:57.237-05:00Thanks for the comment on my blog.
