Let me start off by saying that I LOVE my brother B. He’s awesome.
He’s also really really really smart… so smart he has a BS in Math, MS in Statistics and PhD is Statistics … ICK! He’s presented papers around the world … about statistics… ICK! ICK! (oh yeah, his wife … she has a MS in Stats, too! UGH! Their kids are already brilliant and they’re not even out of grade school.
Although I have a BS in Computer Science, I didn’t have to take a gazillion math classes … you know… like a math minor or heaven forbid a math major… let alone someone like B who has his Masters and PhD in that icky stuff.
I just “don’t get math”. Give me a complex computer program to write and I’m good to go (even without an advanced degree I do quite well – surprise even myself sometimes. 
)
Anyway, for years The Offspring has been taking advanced math classes and well… I SUCK and can’t help her… so I call Uncle B to get help.
Well, this year The Offpspring is taking AP Calculus and getting dual-credit through a university here in town… ICK! Neither she nor I like math. 
She came home today and I was at a loss so… you guessed it… I called B.
Again… B is GREAT! I wouldn’t trade him for the world… but geeze! I feel really stupid when he explains stuff to me… I just don’t get it. Bits of memory start to come back to the surface and then I look at The Offspring’s fancy dancy calculator… and I’m lost… again…
…and feel really stupid.
Do you ever feel that way?
P.S. Love you, B!
Thanks Uncle B, but math is still gross…
LOL! You sound like me.
And btw mom…you’re not stupid.
Awwwww… thanks Sweetie!
NOT that this is a FAMILY blog…. but, YES, I have felt stupid, but my daughter will not let me say it. AND my son and his wife won’t let the word be said aloud in their home or in front of their children. I’m thinkin’ they are ALL pretty darn SMART!
Haha I said that today bout doing some things to my blog. So I asked hubby and he’s like, heck you know more about it than I do. I was like, stick with me, I’ll make you learn it
LOL! That’s right… our hubbies need to be there in case we need a guest post!
