Stupid Ruler
Thursday, December 25, 2008 by Amy
Just a quick one. I got Riley a ruler in her stocking. No big investment. But when I was teaching her how to use it, we measured an eraser and I said that it was "almost 1 1/2 inches long." Well, "almost" was not good enough for her and she wanted to know exactly. I looked at the ruler and realized that the inches were divided into tenths. TENTHS, people! Who doesn't know that inches are divided into halves, fourths, eighths, and sixteenths? Seriously, TENTHS?? Apparently Wal-Mart's contacts in China don't know this very basic fact. Okay, I'm done...
