Quote for the Day 3/5/2010

Student, breezing hurriedly into my office: What's a dime?

Me: What?

Student: A dime. What is it?

Me: Ten cents?

Student: OK. And a nickel is five cents, right?

Me: Right.

Student (exiting in a rush) : Thanks.

I sometimes have moments too when the obvious eludes me. We're all in good company.
