When You're Around Dave, The Learning Never Ends

Even though it's nearly summer and senior cut day, I actually taught a high school kid something today-- at bathroom duty, of all places . . . she didn't have her ID because she was coming from PE class and so she had to give me her ID number in order to check in and she recited it like this:

"one, four . . . triple five . . . one three"

and this was too many numbers and did not work, but then she clarified:

"I said that wrong-- just three-- I meant there was just one number three"

and so I told her that the generally acceptable way to give someone a long string of numbers was to do it in groups of three, and when she returned from the bathroom, she did just that, and we were both very pleased.
