1 spring break = 0 spring, 0 break
If A+B=C, then you’ve had way more sleep than me
5 clean pairs size 6 pants = 2 days clean laundry for minature male
If one train leaves Canada at 6:30 am and another train leaves Texas at 6:30 am, then, well, you should’ve sprung for airfare, Dummy
.4 ounces of Fun Dip before bed = 2 hours of Kindergarten Pinball Boy
45 minutes of evening sanity thanks to children confined in bathtub > 2 gallons bathwater on the floor, 7 shrieks, and 2 claw-your-brother’s-face-off
Your child has a temperature of 100 degrees and otherwise appears good-natured and well. Send the child to school on a wish and a prayer and receive a call 3 hours later that child is laying with his head down on the carpet speaking in tongues. Keep child home and 3 hours later he is doing backspins naked in front of PBS Kids.
5 clean pairs size 6 pants = 5 weeks before holes in knees
Brainteaser: You’re in a room alone with no mirrors or doors. How do you escape? Answer: SHHHHHHuH!! (You already have).
What’s the difference between a trapezoid and a rhombus? We don’t speak that way in this household young man.
5 clean pairs size 6 pants = only happens when A+B=C
It sounds like your Spring Break is going well. Hilarious!
My favorite was the brainteaser. After Spring Break I think we all feel that way! Stefanie
You are the best math teacher ever, Ann.
I’ve homeschooled for years but will have all the kids in traditional school settings this fall. I am thinking this September will be MY first “spring break” ever. 😉
This is the type of Ann post that I love the most.
Yes. I did deliberately rhyme that.
Good luck surviving spring break. We go back tomorrow– to 6th grade math homework. Gah!
Ann,
What a complete crack up and so many truths stated. Love the sick child bit with naked in front of PBS–been there!
Keep writing good stuff to make me laugh…
You’re hilarious! LOL at back spins in front of PBS kids!
Can’t stop laughing. Each one is so very true. Brilliant!
That pretty much SUMS it up.
I’m cry laughing.
This post rocks! And what is it about the pants???? I have an 8 year old boy. I’m living the pants thing, too.
There really is no calculator on the market to make those numbers work out for you!
The Motrin Magic Factor – the child has never appeared healthier, until 5.5 hours into the 6 hour dosage when it wears off and you are convinced, if only momentarily, that maybe the kid really is sick.
Wishing you long, long school days ahead.
Backspins naked in front of PBS Kids. Mmmm-hmmmm.
“We don’t speak that way in this household young man”..exactly!! 😀
I was just wondering if the two gallons of bath water stayed on the floor of the bathroom or did it seep into the cracks of the old grout? Because seepage happened at our house, so then at least it didn’t look like two gallons of bath water. Until you went one floor lower, right under the bathroom. Is it really a bathed child if not gallons splashed out? I say no.
At least he only ate 0.4 ounces of Fun Dip and not the stick too!
Healthy and naked in front of the tv. Gotta love that!

“Send the child to school on a wish and a prayer and receive a call 3 hours later that child is laying with his head down on the carpet speaking in tongues. Keep child home and 3 hours later he is doing backspins naked in front of PBS Kids.”<--That made me laugh and exclaim, how true, how true!
Love, love your writing.
I’m laughed so much reading this. And then I used my calculator.
That post was like eating a bunch of ice cream really fast. Brain freeze. I need coffee to recover.
I love the brainteaser. I was like, where is she going with this old braintea.. ohhhhhhhhH!.
Wait – my comment flew away! Where did it go? If you see it, erase it, because I was trying to come up with something as witty as this and failing miserably.
