Lupines



This is so weird, I can post on the blog from my phone if I choose ' edit html' but not if I just choose new post. Wtfever..... These lupines are pretty though.

Bringing up geeklings, episode n+1

C: Mom, what's 68?

Me: The percentage of data in a normal distribution that is within plus or minus one standard deviation of the mean.

C: I have no idea what you just said!

A: Mom, is that really true?

Me: Of course. I would never lie to you....about math.


The funny thing is that it didn't occur to me what she was really asking about until I contemplated telling this
story to a class.....i bet if I told it they would remember that 68%...

Test

got a new fancy phone and trying to see if I can update the blog directly from it. Seems to work but it's fairly awkward.

misc. cuteness

So i had to go to a meeting about C's school last night and T. was whining that i was leaving -- "I want to go too!"

"Boy." says C. "You do NOT want to go to a meeting. The adults talk and talk and talk and nobody actually does anything and at the end you don't even get a lollipop!"

T. this morning: "Mommy look! My hands are smiling!"
