“She looked into the refrigerator, but all she saw were three jars of apricot jam and an old bottle of ketchup. She then checked the candy jar, but came up empty there, too. Nothing but a sticky old cherry lollipop. Suddenly she remembered that she had hidden exactly $3.66 under her pillow. She raced to see if it was still there, and it was! Now she could buy something to eat. If a stick of grape swirl licorice cost twelve cents, then how many sticks of licorice could Loretta buy with her hidden... stash? Math! What an incredibly irrelevant subject. Aren’t there other bigger problems in the world to solve than a strange girl’s candy budget? There is world hunger, overpopulation, and I’m pretty sure there are hundreds of animals going extinct every day. And Miss Killjoy is having us ponder a totally ridiculous and fictional shopping spree? I’m not even allowed to let candy enter my household. It’s a major Indigo (she’s my mom) violation to even think about refined sugar. So this whole math exercise relates to my life as much as hot chocolate marshmallow fudge does to agave-sweetened soy carob pudding!MoreLessRead More Read Less
