I get a kick out of this every time I see it posted. I help my 10 YO Granddaughter with her Math and teach her all of the short cuts that I learned.

Anyone that does not believe women have an instinctive mechanism to manipulate men, including Grandfathers, ought to see her go through her act, don’t work.

She generally figures it out, with some coaching. I never give her the answer only the process.
