What Do You Call…
A question from Brain Quest Grade 4:
Parallel.
Eli responded belligerently.
It’s not just mathematicians. Everyone who knows that would call them “parallel.”
How do you like that? Not only is my son mathematically literate, but he’s a sarcastic smart-ass, too. I couldn’t be more proud.
In honor of Eli…
