How Timmy Learned Math There was a little boy named Timmy who was horrible at math, and no matter what his parents did he just couldn't do it. So, Timmy's parents decide to send him to a local Catholic School which was said to be the best school in the neighbourhood. After his first day of Catholic school, Timmy sprinted past his parents and up the stairs into his room! He stayed in his rooms for hours in complete silence, only leaving to have dinner before rushing back upstairs! When his parents checked on their son, they were completely amazed as they saw Timmy surrounded with math textbooks; studying in complete silence without any breaks! They couldn't believe their eyes! Although they wanted to know what made him change his mind, they decided not to ask and just let Timmy continue studying. This continued to be Timmy's routine until Timmy and his parents were called in for an interview with the headmaster. As they're sitting in the room with the headmaster, Timmy's parents are utterly shocked as the headmaster tells them that their son is extremely gifted in math and, if he continues to improve, they could get him into any school they wanted! Now Timmy's parents were incredibly curious! What made their son change his mind about math? When they asked him, little Timmy said this; ""Well mom and dad, when I saw that statue of a man nailed to a big, wooden plus sign, I knew they weren't kidding around...""
