At the dinner table this week, Daddy Mac had asked Goosey Lou how her school day was. Her standard answer lately has been "Fine" followed by "the usual" when asked what happened.
So Daddy Mac prodded her a bit and asked what she had learned in math that day. Goosey recited that her class had reviewed multiplication and addition strategies. Trying to drag conversation out of her, he asked what strategies were. She explained that they were ways to solve a problem.
Daddy Mac launched into a talk about how in battle, you can attack the opponent, or in this case the math problem, directly or you can go around it or you can do both.
Goosey sat for a minute and then replied, "I think that every single student I know would just prefer the 'go around it' strategy and move on..."
Pretty clever.
