It is official... I admit that I have a problem. It became pretty clear to me that I have to face my phobia of math after I spent an embarassing amount of money on a knock off barbie doll at the Silk Market in China. My excuse: I was too "overwhelmed" to do the simple division to figure out what the price would be in American dollars. I was bartering with her; I had gotten her down pretty far from what she originally quoted the price to be. I figured I was getting a bargain. Once I realized what I had spent, I was alarmed. I will never admit to any of you how much I paid... so don't ask.
Now though, I am ready to face my fear.
I never imagined there would be a book directly referring to the American phobia of math, but lucky me it was waiting on the shelf at the Columbia City Library. I've also checked out a booked called A Parent's Crash Course on Elementary Math.
Here is the barbie... my embarrassment is only heightened by the fact that the doll is so ridiculous and disturbing.... "Happily of Household" barbie!
