I like to believe that I have a very good grasp of the English language. I read quickly with very good comprehension of the subject, and can write clearly and lucidly. But for some reason, word problems in math bothered the heck out of me. Give me formulas to work out, no problem. But “If a train leaves a station at 4:00 at 25 mph” was the start of a math test, I was doomed.

A train leaves Pennsylvania Station at 3:45 headed for Baltimore …
That brings up memories of high school math classes and Glenn Miller.

Is this a play on the word “date” and the fact that Paige doesn’t have one on a Saturday night?

I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate.

Absolutely nothing, which I am about to make you be!
