Jason: Your Momma thinks square roots are vegetables. Marcus: Oh, yeah? Your momma thinks polygons turn into frogs. Well, your momma couldn't integrate a nested trig function, even if you let her use a computer. Miss. O'Malley: Boys, I said no talking trash before tests. Jason: Sorry, Miss O'Malley.

I was always weak in Math. One day my 9th grade Algebra teacher assigned homework and said, “Remember, all the answers should be even numbers.” I kept getting odd numbers for some of the answers and kept re-doing the problems over and over. The next day I came to class and told the teacher, “I kept getting odd numbers when you said the answers should be even numbers.” The teacher laughed and said, “I meant the answers should be whole numbers.” That discouraged me from doing math for the rest of the term.
