innumeracy

Miki, Marion, and I were unfortunately obliged to be together to take the weight of the children in our assigned community (and I must confess that it was not a very appealing idea for me at that time because of group issues). That’s another story. Anyway, I don’t know what’s with the weighing scale and the tape measure that children seem to detest it. Thus, all morning, aside from enduring their tantrums, we also have to make simple subtraction (in cases where the guardians must hold the kids during weighing). The most challenging of all was subtracting 72 and 56. We made a fuss over it for a minute or so in front of our disbelieving client (I got the closest, 15!). Before we give any more bad impression, we finally conceded our weakness and decided to use our cell phone… *sigh*
