"You say things!" -Robin

 And now, may I present a disjointed collection of quotes and pictures to describe my week in Maths with our lovely teacher Helen. Ahem...

Helen: Come on girls! Speak up!

*I speak up*

Helen: Don't be cheeky.

Measuring for our giant- Andrea: Brooke, your forehead is a lot bigger than you think it is.

Helen: Put your mind in gear before you put your mouth in motion!

Me: nope. 

Helen: Well you can't sing either.

Me: These flies are so annoying!

Helen: bin it.

so proud.

Helen: What is something you struggle with? (no pause for answer) I have one for you. You lack resiliency. You give up very easily and you have a hard time thinking outside the box (continues to lecture me on how its not completely my fault, but also a product of my raising)... But that is a lovely color on you."

Lessons Learned from Helen:

-Life is cheeky. 

-Leggings are most definitely pants. 

-There are apparently many academic disadvantages that children who come from big families face. 

-There is more than one way to skin a cat (horrible expression) but Helen's way will always be the right way to do it.

-Bin it = throw it away

-I may not be that smart, but I am pretty and I look great in pink. 

I'll take it!
