Just in case you needed more proof that I'm a nerd

Yesterday Jenn sent me a link to a BYU math professor's blog entry. He wrote about trying to help his daughter with rounding and how he did such a horrible job and didn't deserve to be a professor of mathematics. The problem in his example was "round 16,504 to the nearest thousand". First of all, I'm a nerd because I remember the number after reading the entry once. Secondly, and most importantly, I'm a nerd because after getting up with Kaylin at 12:30 am I laid awake for at least half an hour pondering how I would teach rounding to Kaylin. I wanted to sleep, I craved sleep, but my mind was racing with object lessons, investigations, and conversations we could have. So yes, proof that I'm a nerd. QED.
