Mom: Yes! How did you get that?
Dad: I know how he got it.
DS: (smiles)
Dad: He multiplied 6x4 and added the 24 to his 4x10.
DS: (grinning)

Mom: On the floor. (never would have thought of that).

that's exactly how I've been multiplying the last close to 30 years! lol

LOL!

Is that good or bad? I'm so completely NOT a numbers gal.

no idea! I have always been a numbers girl but this is the only way I can do it in my head! lol ... I could never use the ways they taught us to do math at school. I always drove my teachers crazy with having my own ways yet with correct answers smile
