The Homework Battle
A mom sits down with her son to help with his homework.
Mom: “Okay, let’s start with math.”
Son: “I don’t get it.”
Mom: “What don’t you get?”
Son: “All of it.”
Mom takes a deep breath. “Alright, let’s break it down. What’s 5 + 5?”
Son: “10.”
Mom: “Great! Now what’s 10 + 10?”
Son: “I don’t know. I’m not a calculator!”
Mom tries again. “Okay, imagine you have 10 apples, and I give you 10 more. How many do you have?”
Son: “Too many apples.”
Mom sighs, “And that’s why teachers get summers off.”
