Day 57
When my family came back to the States for furlough in 2002 and I flew back to PA for a visit, I figured it would be a good time to catch up on the fulfillment of my sister-ly duties, which obviously included imparting my vast stores of wisdom to my younger siblings.
A great opportunity presented itself when we came back from the library one afternoon with our laundry basket full of books, and I settled down on the couch with then 8-year-old Daniel to puruse a children’s book on ancient Greece. As we were reading about various historical figures, Pythagoras came up.
“He was an important mathematician,” I told my brother, “He discovered an important equation called the Pythagorean theorem.” I was about to continue my explanation, but before I could –
“Oh, yeah, ” Daniel said, very matter-of-factly, “a² + b² = c².”
Good gravy. I think I was still at the this-is-how-you-color-inside-the-lines stage when I was in second grade.
Proverbs 2:6 “For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

this was hilarious- we all had a good laugh!!
