Rap is at least as old as Gilbert and Sullivan: “This particularly rapid unintelligible patter isn’t usually heard and if it is it doesn’t matter” [Ruddigore, 1887], not to mention Rossini’s “Figaro here, Figaro there…” [The Barber of Seville. 1775].

There are a lot of kids in the same situation as you, Calvin, so I suggest you join a union. Chances are, one has already been organized for your constituency, and dues will only take ten percent of your allowance.
A column of numbers may give you a 3 in the ten’s column. That may not be 1st grade, either, but it’s earlier than multiplication. By the way, at age 6, Calvin may be in the 2nd grade. I was.
