Trivial Grammar, Gobstoppers and Nerds
Saturday, April 30th, 2005Among the 6 Balite progenies I am the only one who hadn’t won not even joined in a Math competition. (Note: In England, Math is plural and is called Maths) And its a big ego crusher, even frustrating. Its like you know how to fish but you only catch guppy sized fish. (Note: Fish is singular and plural) Its not that I hate Math as you would’ve deduced. It’s Math that hates me. Apparently since I was in 1st year High School, we agreed that we have a Mutual Misunderstanding. Believe me, I’m not bad in Math when I was in Elementary School. (Note: In Europe, they call it Grammar School) Come to think of it, the heaviest Math I’ve done when I was a child was with 5 peso coins that I pilfered from my Lola’s coin bank to buy Gobstoppers and Nerds from the School Canteen.Tsk tsk tsk. Apparently I never did had a good history with Math, I still don’t, and I doubt I will.
