Opal missed a great teachable moment – math is the language of reality. (I think that’s why most people don’t like math…it doesn’t care about good intentions, and it won’t forgive a mistake – just like the universe.) Grandmothers will let you get away with a cute wise-guy play on words, but reality won’t. Wait’ll the kid has to balance a checkbook….

Maybe you should ask him some basic math questions first, Opal.

There seem to be no wrong answers in school anymore. “Not seventy” is just as correct as “sixty four”. I’ll bet he’s got great self esteem, too.

You’re not Nelson, it’s not 70, but it’s pretty close.
But hey, the kid’s better at math then I was at his age.

You all miss the point, It is supposed to be funny. No matter the school systems in America are the real joke.

Wished I had been as smart as Nelson when I was his age. Math would have been a lot easier.
