   He only climbed the mountain because it was there. He only asked the question because the guru was there.

   Like “if you have 10 pizzas and a man comes by and takes all but three pizzas, what would he have?” Correct answer: a broken hand

   That is a question to which they can relate.

   I have laughed more at some of the comments.

   I have read that most kids today cannot read cursive nor an analog clock.

   They also complain that most teens cannot drive a stick but that was true even in my day (the 70s).

   I learned to drive a stick on the farm of a family friend by driving his pickup around the farm while they loaded hay on the flat bed I was pulling. Everyone took their turn loading and their turn driving.

   I saw an article protesting how math was racist because too many of the word problems deal with issues that “minority kids” never come across; like plane travel, automobile trips (the article said they tend to travel by bus), possessing more than 10 apples, etc. I considered the article racist because of the way it equated poverty with minorities. (Weirdly enough, one example of a “racist word problem” involved crewing. I have never seen a problem involving crewing and if I never saw “Oxford Blues” would not even know what it meant.)

   But I still do not understand how swapping out the mode of transportation with a different one suddenly makes the problem more “relatable” and thus “easier”. I never had any issue and the only forms of transportation I ever took before I was an adult were cars and school buses; unless you count the theme park rides, but they never went anywhere but in circles.

   Soldiers put a dog tag in their shoe in case their head gets removed. So putting your name in various places on your person can help you body be identified (or what is left of your body).

   Of course, that could also have been part of a plot to fake his own death

   Kids seem to have plenty of energy on mornings without school. It is only on school mornings that you have to drag them out of bed
