Calculator

Coming home late again from work, I caught Chloe serious with her homework.

Lo and behold, of all subjects she was having problems with, Math…. A subject my Einstein brain failed to figure out.

Not to appear unsupportive of her school work, I pretended with so much difficulty to assist her in the division of 4 places.

Exhausted that she could not get the pretend solution I was teaching her, I flipped open my mobile phone and said, “Here, use the calculator to compute!”

Frantic she said, “Ma, teacher said we can’t use a calculator!”

The Einstein mother in me replied, “Don’t worry, I wont tell your teacher!”
