Funny, clever and self -deprecating. As a math teacher I had hoped you appreciated math in elementary school, but I am glad you read something that interested you. At the end we like to become problem solvers.

I had to look up the meaning of dabbler, and if I understood that correctly, you are no dabbler🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you! And I apologize that the young me was so disrespectful of math. When I started running a bookstore, it would have been a lot easier if I'd paid more attention all along.

The old me forgives the young you. If it is any consolation I cannot balance my checkbook 🤷🏻‍♀️
