Really. How did you get into college?!

So one of the classes I am taking this semester is "Math for Elementary Teachers." No big deal. I mean, it is elementary math, but the three other girls that sit at my table (yes, we're assigned tables just like in 3rd grade)are having a hard time. This is the dialogue in todays class.(Just to preface, we were doing an assignment that says "You're on a farm with chickens and llamas. You count 25 heads and you see 74 feet. How many chickens are there? How many llamas are there?")

Girl at my table: How many feet do chickens have?
Me: Are you serious?!
Girl: *Blank stare*
Me: Well how many feet does a bird have?
Girl: *Blank stare*
Me: Well does a bird have 4 feet?
Girl: Yeah.
Me: *Shocked stare*
Girl: Well one time I was driving and I saw this bird cross the road and it was walking on it's hands and feet.

Uhhhh... really now?! And she was absolutely serious. Now that's just sad!

I'm so happy you commented on my blog, because that means that now I can read yours! I'll be lurking, my friend!
p.s. Doesn't look like you needed any help laying it out. It looks darling, and I love the header pic!
