Post Fifteen: Fathers Day

Has anyone noticed if fathers day is going the same way as mothers day?

[Action for England also has a gift for him]

Do you know why we have negatize numbers? It seems like a waste of time to me.

Those are important in the higher maths. It's just good to grasp the concept and recognize it.

And there's nothing wrong with a little negativity.

But they don't exist. How can you have a negative amount of something?

Well, you're quite looking at this the wrong way.

How should I look at it then?

It's not why should we have negative numbers.

It's more like why not?

....I suppose.

Do they have a use?

Of course they do.

Just wait a few years and you'll be quite thankful for them.

....I suppose.

Unless you don't use them outside of school. Because I don't go to school at home so I suppose I'll need them.

Don't worry, math is quite useful to learn all around. If America kept up his studies, I'm sure he would have been slightly more intelligent than a sponge by now.

Oh, that's good then.

We don't have science there though.

Really? Then what do you learn?

I've been learning about herbs, medicine, magic...witchcraft things.

And most people learn a trade or stick to farming. Most women get married and become mothers.

It certainly sounds like my medieval times. Sometimes I still get a little agricultural revolution in my eyes, but not too often nowadays...

You're training to be a witch, then?

Agricultural revolution?

Yes, I've been apprenticed to two different witches so far. Three if you count Nanny Ogg.

Well, that was a very long time ago.

Magic is quite a good thing to learn. You're still keeping up your practise, aren't you?

...right.

Yes, as much as I can.

But nothing too dangerous?

As far as I can tell, no.

I'm thinking about going to ask Nanny if she can teach me more here.

As long as you keep up both your studies.

And still be back home before six.

Right. I think we get a break from school soon anyway.

Really? For what?

Nanny says she thinks it was probably for helping with the crops at first and then they just forgot the reason as people went away from the farms.

... That sounds alarmingly informed. What's the break called, then?

Summer break?
