Many years ago, I was helping my kid brother with arithmetic. This was the era of the Beast Wars Transformer TV show and action figures. I new he had an action figure that cost around $5, so I assigned that price to “Rhinox,” a Transformer character he didn’t have, as an example that would interest him. It seemed to help. Score 1 for big sister.
Several days later, imagine my chagrin when my brother and mom came home from the toy store not quite happy because Bro had only saved up $5+tax when in fact Rhinox was more in the $10 or $15 range. SMH

Skirt? Why is wearing a skirt such a big deal when pants work so much better?
