Son: Would it bother you if I burned my math book?
Mom: Well, I suppose you could, but then you'd have to spend your money on buying a new one.
(Long pause)
Mom: Problems, dear?
Son: It's evil.
Mom: (chuckle)
Enjoy your weekend!

Actually, it is usually I who wants to burn the math book.
Jean,
Great blog post! I had to forward it to my daughter. She detests math. It is probably because she has such a difficult time knowing her math facts. She knows them when you ask them in isolation, but to use them...ah, that is another things all together.
I cannot figure it out. She knows the processes, but all her errors are math fact errors. It isn't carelessness. I think she just struggles to retrieve the answer, even though we review all the time.
But ask her about horses....she can tell you every bone, every muscle, every capillary. They tell me this is typical of ADHD teens. So, I am with Kim...I want to burn the math book sometimes!
