Okay my fifth grade math teacher Mr. Wilson had us read an excerpt from this to explain the base 10 number system. (Yep, you’ll be shocked to know that I was a grade ahead in math WHAT WHAT). I was intrigued and wanted to keep reading, and he embarrassed the hell out of me when he kind of chuckled and said it was inappropriate and that I should check with my mom first. So, here’s to you, Mr. Wilson. I am SO going to read this now that I am a grown up and can read about wobbly bits.God bless The Awl for deconstructing Clan of the Cave Bear, which allows us to remember when our mother gave us a copy for Easter because our mother clearly did not know what kind of book it was (the dirty kind). We were ten.
