I should be a Mathematician, by Emily

I love being a parent. All day I get joy from ridiculously small things. It's just basic math. Where n equals anything:

my child + n = ridiculous amount of joy

For instance:

Figure 1: A table. Boring.








Figure 2: Theorem Applied
Diana + a Table = ridiculous amount of joy














Here are some more examples:

Diana + Fence = ridiculous amount of joy














Diana + Sandbox = ridiculous amount of joy












Diana + Glasses = ridiculous amount of joy








Of course, the theorem fails because Diana + the grocery store = a very cranky mother, and Diana + the Medicine Cabinet = frantic calls to Poison Control. And for some reason not everyone finds bliss in Diana picking the flowers out of their landscaping. I suspect that there are a few people in this world who wish that children didn't exist at all. If those people ever start giving out free chocolate bars, I'm going to be suspicious.
