#54

We did school.  I finished "Life of Fred: Apples".  We're starting "Life of Fred: Butterflies".  Fred is silly. In all his pictures, the heads look like him:  his worms, his elephants, his birds.  Kingie, his doll, doesn't look like him.  Fred is 5 years old and he's a teacher at KITTENS University in Kansas.  He has a game with ones and zeros.  You name a set with one member and then he names a set with zero members.  Like the sun- and he names the sun that is purple and a couple other things.  He teaches Arithmetic and Algebra and Geometry.  "Zero is the highest number of whales I can fit in my pocket."  That's Arithmetic.  Algebra is trying to figure out what x could mean like in x + 4 = 7.  In this case, it would mean 3.  Geometry is rectangles and squares.
