Little Izy with Olivia as Director

"My NECK is... blue!"
"No, your neck is white!"
"Oh! My neck is white."


Hardcore

We were doing math problems at school today. My friend asked me if I wanted a calculator... I told him "no thanks," because I'm a hardcore Mister.

"Actually I didn't hit you at all. Didn't you know that the electrons in the outer shell of all atoms repel each other so I never really touched you! Ha ha!"

Grown

I buzzed the back of Izaak's hair tonight. Upon seeing his reflection he yelled out, "Ah!! Mom, I'm so hairy! I'm a grown man!!"

Hardcore

When my teacher tells us we can use a calculator for math,
sometimes I like to be a hardcore Mr. and not use one.

Olivia Explains it All

Overheard...
Olivia - Izaak, I know you really don't like to have this debate, but I really think that .999 repeating IS equal to 1.
Izaak - But, they're TWO DIFFERENT NUMBERS because 1.0 and 0.9 without the repeating numbers are different.
Olivia - That doesn't make sense to me. This is my explanation: So, I'm talking about fractions and decimals. Zero thirds (0/3) is zero repeating, one third (1/3) is .333 repeating, and two thirds (2/3) is .666 repeating. So, what should three thirds (3/3) be? I think it should be .999 repeating because each time you are adding .333 repeating. But, three thirds is also 1. That's why I think .999 repeating is equal to 1 because I use fractions and decimals to explain it better for me.
Izaak - Oh! I like my idea better though.
Olivia - Okay, then let's come up with a good explanation for you!
