In other math news, we are leaving for France in a few days, and learning french together. Numbers are really hard! Did you know that the number for 70 translates as "Sixty-ten" and 71 is "sixty-eleven" etc.? AND, not only that, but the number for 80 translates as "four twenties" and, EVEN WORSE, 90 is "four twenties and ten." And 91 is "four twenties and eleven", and so on. I mean, seriously. Come on.
