Math stories

(Does anyone remember this assignment? I guess I must have been in 3rd grade, which means I was in Nancy "Desk Dumper" Torres's class. The pressure must've gotten to her because it seems like this is all we did all year:)

Zoe had 1 tiny bear. She got three more tiny bears. She then got 50 candy bars for each bear. She then had to eat each candy bar by herself. Her stomach grew 50 times bigger each time she ate 10 candy bars. Question: If her stomach was 26" [??? my stomach was not 26" when I was 8 [[and it isn't now, either]]] before she ate the candy bars, how big would it be if she ate all the candy bars?

Genalyn was babysitting for Zoe and Karen. She was paid five dollars an hour. She stayed 12 hours. Question: how much money did she make?

Kerda, Merda, Jerda and Zerda were all best friends. One day they got into a fight about how many fights they had. (They had 25 a week!) All 4 had different opinions! Kerda said 45. Merda said 59. Zerda said 35 and Jerda said 49. (They did, in the end find out, of course!) Question: Which 3 girls guesses were the closest together and who was closest to 25?

Next time: Spelling Stories! Here's a sneak peek:

One day Wilfred Brimley bought a yorkshire terrier and a white mouse. Both animals had twins that belonged to Brian Bonsall whose favorite toy was Snuggles the bear. Tina Yothers was babysitting him and suddenly the phone rang. It was Mackensie Astin! He said that he and Shannen Doray were calling lots of people from NBC programs and Jennifer and her 2 friends Karen and Zoe about a party...

I'll tell you

I'm sure you guys all saw the season premiere of Degrassi: TNG last night, so I don't have to tell you how much I hate the new opening credits. But aren't you mad about what a big deal everyone is making about Mia being a model?

First of all, Emma was a Purple Dragon girl last season, and no one made a big deal about that! Granted, Purple Dragon is just an energy drink -- not as big a deal as being the new T-Popz sneakers girl -- but she did flash the entire school at an assembly!

Secondly, I think we are all forgetting about the original Degrassi Community School professional model:


Terri McGregor! Hello? Before Rick abused Terri and she got brain damage and was in a coma, she was a plus-size model with ads all over the bus stops of Toronto!

I've always assumed Terri was dead now, but a google search last night for photos of her bus stop ad campaign led me to a surprising revelation: she is alive!



Canada has private schools?

Anyways, I'm finally getting used to the new 90210. Even thought Adrianna has a really big jaw, I totally feel her pain. And I don't even get mad about the fact that Lori Laughlin's son is black anymore. But I seriously can't get into Naomi. She is just no Kelly Taylor. And, P.S., neither is that spunky, ambiguously ethnic undercover cop! Although I'm still kind of watching because I'm waiting for Kell and Brandon to get back togeths, I'm not mad about it.
