recent convos

Shelby on the phone talking to Grammy:
Did you getyour Christmas tree?
oh, how tall is it?
Really?! That is taller than Goliath!


Its deer season here in PA. Lots of deer have been killed with disease. So, you call the Game Commission to report it. Then the take your deer. If you got a buck, too bad, they take it. Antlers and all. We (Matt and me) were talking about this on the way home the other day. Becky's brother shot a 9 point, but ti was sick. Heres the kicker. Call the commission, and they take your deer, but you can BUY BACK the antlers at $10 a point! Ridiculous! Anyhow, Colesy pipes up from the back that it would cost him $90. I saw the teaching moment to show how math and mulitplication really do have a place in our world. I asked her how she came up with that number. (9 X $10) She thought for about 5 seconds and said "I've got smarticles."
LOL
