This math confuses me, I find, Especially when they change their mind. They tell me 2 plus 2 is 4. I got it! That is right before, They go and change their mind once more. Then tell me 3 plus 1 makes 4. I learned that 7 was 5 plus 2 And now they've gone and changed that, too. 7 was making sense to me, Till it was switched to 4 plus 3. Sometimes I think that I am dumb And learning numbers makes me numb. My brother makes me more afraid. Says, "It gets worse in second grade." —Grandpa Tucker |
