Calendar-Challenged

Erika doesn't like math. It frustrates her. The last step of a word problem in tonight's homework was to figure out what date is 15 days after May 20. Frustrated she exclaimed, "Dad, there is no May 35th!" Kara and I just smiled and waited. The light went on and she said, "Oh yeah. It would be April 4." We waited again. Nothing. She was satisfied with April 4 until her mother gave her a hint. Sometimes the apple falls very far from the tree.

uh... I'm embarassed to admit I was saying, "April 4th is right!"

I finally figured it out though.

Sheesh.
