a beautiful mind...

quickly, because i don't have much time, i must tell of sweet Hannah's artful mind & mine own maladroitness. so, merry little Hannah likes to illustrate her final answers in math. it may be a turtle or a hippo, but it perfectly encloses the answer & makes a frolicsome display of an otherwise plain set of numbers. sometimes, however, practicable someones might discourage this practice, as it wastes valuable resources in the like of time allotted for finding sums. therefore, some answers are illuminated while others remain encircled in the usual fashion. today, as we set about to do-over misadventures & aright wrongs in the world of arithmetic, i was in the process of erasing what was assumed to be a conventional orb, though a bit lopsided, when a distraught voice cried out, "THAT IS MY BEST DRAWING EVER OF A TOOTH ATTACHED TO THE GUM!!!" ...well, if i had only known it was a tooth attached to the gum! i never detach teeth. i am a steadfast believer of leaving teeth firmly attached at at all cost. "sorry, hannah, i didn't know." hannah~ "i'd like to tell you... if it's not an ordinary circle, DON'T ERASE IT!"
