The counting out change thing... my daughter is terrible at simple math, she gets an A in prealgebra but is calculator dependent for the most simple problems. Her friends are the same way, smart but calculator dependent. They let the kids use a calculator too early and they don't need to know the simple math. Since they don't use that knowledge, they forget the simple math that should come quickly without thinking. I think I see math flash cards in my daughters future...Michelle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851453933697842657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-54133412341061713122014-09-12T00:36:58.599-04:002014-09-12T00:36:58.599-04:00Enjoyed your coffee shop visit.

First of all, I LOVE your opening coffee chronicle photo - it's that little corner of the paving stone upon the ground that give this picture a special touch. My eye travels around the picture and sets my mind to begin telling my own story. But wait, there's your story unfolding. The essence of courtesy and kindness is not to make others feel out of place, and so perhaps Huffy Lady's rude behavior got her exactly what she deserved. Your writing, describing the events and details, without forced conclusions, is compelling . . . the story drew me in and I want to hear more!Donna Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102284065955298362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-10866467363666003992014-09-11T02:27:37.864-04:002014-09-11T02:27:37.864-04:00Happy to be reading these again.

I do get the older woman's point of view as in her days of youth it was an unspoken rule that you would have immediately moved. Sure she was thinking, "These young people now a days!" Looking forward to more of these!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013919598339085102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-61497125111655494862014-09-10T00:38:25.978-04:002014-09-10T00:38:25.978-04:00I am happy you held your ground.

But, then again, I would not have been above asking to join you with my friends. I'm glad you're back. I would have loved to go with you! And don't you marvel at how hard it is to make change?
