Reminds me of going to college and taking calculus classes. When a problem
wasn't going right, I would wad up the paper and toss it in the garbage can.
The only problem with this was that I had a first-grade son at the time. He
never could understand why acceptable behavior at home (toss the wadded
paper across the room) was unacceptable in the classroom!
Ask for the moon, but settle for its reflection in the pond in your
backyard.
