Yes, it's time once again for another round of "Would you believe?" Wednesday!

Sharpen those pencils.

 Would you believe I missed a holiday yesterday? I was informed by my engineer hubby that yesterday was in fact "square-root day" - I admit over dinner last night when the announcement was made and my two boys nodded their heads in agreement (I live with math geeks in case you didn't know) - I stared into space in utter amazement. Square-root day? Really?  Well, after the laughter died down, it was explained to me that yesterday's date was 3-3-09 - which everyone knows in math terms is a square-root equation. 3x3=9. Duh.

 

 Would you believe I probably couldn't pass 4th grade math? I don't know about you, but we didn't do algebra in elementary school. All I can say is thank God for my older boys and their superior math aptitude - because when my daughter has a question, I'm the last person she needs to take math advice from. Hell, I can't even figure out the word problems and they want her to pick out congruent lines or angles?

 Would you believe one of the biggest arguments hubby and I ever had in our whole married life (22 years and counting!) was because he opened a utility bill and noticed we had a 31 cent credit? When he asked me about it, I replied "I don't like cents in my checkbook - so I round all the bills up." Can you imagine the face of a man who prides himself on his higher math skills - who actually makes a living off those math skills?

Yes, believe it or not, I'm still married! I'm here to confirm that opposites do attract folks!

 Your turn - what wouldn't I believe?
