Emergency Math Teacher

Taking care of the neighbor's dog, Charlotte, has been a lot of fun.  She is laid back and sweet and full of muscles.   I had hoped we might be able to get the two dogs together, but the brief encounter we had didn't go well.   We need to have some more socialization on both sides as COVID-19 has affected everyone, including our pets.   Not to worry, though, my daughter and I are making sure Charlotte is getting lots of attention. 

When I was depositing a full bag from the walk with the dog around the block in some rather blustery weather this evening after feeding her dinner, I noticed this on the tool shelf and I had to take a picture.   This isn't a gimmick slogan or a joke, the company has been around since 1928.   It is just the wrong sort of slogan you want to have when a multi-year pandemic comes around with the same name:

The Big Boy Update:  Tonight before bed, my son was brushing his teeth when he turned around and said, "Let's play emergency math teacher!"   There were rules (he is good at making up rules) surrounding you, the player, running over and asking the emergency math teacher to give you a problem.   You had to solve the problem and solve it quickly.   If you got it right, well that's when I realized this was going to be one of those games where the rules were unending and the game was never starting.   I managed to get him to play a practice round in which his father and I successfully passed the, "What is eight times eight" question was posed by him, the emergency math teacher.   We may play more tomorrow.   I can't wait to see what emergency questions the emergency math teacher will ask me.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter loves animals.   She even loves slugs.   She has really enjoyed going over to feed and take care of Charlotte.   She sits down beside her, listening to her thump her tail on the ground as she wags it and pets her, telling her how much she loves her.   She has a very kind heart towards animals.   If she does something in the field for her career, it will be well-suited for her.   She still wants to own her own pet store...in Kentucky.
