He just turned 5 years old and he gets "nervous" when you start lobbing stuff like "Whats 27-14?" or "Whats 13 plus 18?"

He panics.

He can do it if he is calm and he has a pencil and paper handy.

Thats why I want to get the abacus. This way we don't have to waste paper.

So yes, my son who just turned 5 years old first week of January, who's been reading at since the age of 3 and now reads at around the 5th grade level (we got him a subscription to National Geographic to go along with all of his kids books), has a little trouble with math.
Its my fault,
I taught him how to read because its easy to squeeze in during bedtime stories but math has been a different story. Simply haven't been as consistent as I would have liked.

Though he can he do basic addition and substraction without hesitation on his own, when someone asks hima question he gets nervous.

So yes my Kid is a Republican.
His literate and does fine by himself. He just can't handle big numbers and shouldn't be trusted with a budget.

Like most Republicans, he wears a pull-up to bed.

I'll beat him with a dead cat in front of all of his friends at his prom if he tells me he is going to be an English major.

(or at least that is what I will want to do but won't)
