There are a few behaviors that a dog just kind of has to know and truly obey to be considered a good sporting dog.

My little girls on the other hand must have gotten their math genes from their mother

who can handle numbers in a way that is totally foreign to me.

And now that they are in seventh grade, their math has eclipsed my level.

Again, that's not a joke. It's true.

They are in algebra, and about the time they started multiplying fractions and doing math problems

with parentheses involved, they left their father in the dust.

I was good with the early stuff, although the way they teach math now is not the way I learned and I don't quite
