Gas prices soar: Here’s how to solve that

Posted in Miscellaneous at 5:30 am by Kitten

You’re driving along and you realize that your car is low on gas, so you stop in at the first gas station that you see. Gas around $4 per gallon. Ten years ago you (or you parents) could have bought gas for a little under $1.50.

This is the problem that a lot of places in the U.S.A. are having. I think it’s time for somebody to get us out of this. Gas is money, and money is not gas. I’ll explain to you why this is: Gas costs money (too much if you ask me), but you can’t use money as gas.

We should make cars that run on cheap, useless, unliked things—something like school books. (Nasty little buggers they are.)

Busy schedule

Posted in My life at 5:30 am by Kitten

I think of spring and fall as my favorite seasons. But fall is a really busy time for us, because there is co-op, and now every first Monday of the month is 4-H. Not to mention school, blogging, chores, and soon I’m going to start piano lessons on Wednesdays.(Do you have this busy a schedule?)

So fall, as you can see, is definitely my second, almost third or fourth, favorite season.

Tons of girls

Posted in Miscellaneous at 5:30 am by Kitten

Have you ever heard There are twice as many girls as boys? Well to me it seems true, because in my co-op and our last church there were less boys than girls. For instance there are three girls zero boys in my Sewing class (Small class, huh?), and only two boys with several girls in Drama. At our old church there were usually only two or three boys in a lake of girls. I’d almost wish that my first baby was a boy so that they wouldn’t go extinct.

Negative Subtracting Problems

Posted in Math at 5:30 am by Kitten

This story is told in letters, for it is in letters that it happened.

I tell you what I think was happening right before the letters began:

One morning, in the world of Backwards Math (a small land inside a bigger land called MathLand), a little number named -1 + – 30= -31 went to check his mailbox and found a letter. That letter begins our story of letters.

Dear -1 + -30 = -31,

-70 – -40 = ?  needs you to help find her answer!!!

Please help!!!

-40 ÷ -20 = 2

Dear -40 ÷ -20 = 2,

Tell -70 – -40 = ? to shorten -40 to -39, then she’ll get -31,

then subtract -1 and there’s her answer.

-1 + -30 = -31

Dear  -1 + -30 = -31,

-70 – -40 = -30 found her answer, thanks to you.

She doesn’t know how she’ll ever be able to repay you,

-1 + -30 = -31.

-40 ÷ -20 = 2

Dear  -40 ÷ -20 = 2,

No prob. I loved helping her.

-1 + -30 = -31

I think that -1 + -30 = -31 came to the level of being called -31 soon after. (Because of how well he handled the problem.)

And so this story of  letters is told. I hope that soon I’ll be able to tell you another.
