[tangent]My kids call it "maths" ironically, because some of their favorite British YouTubers do it and they think it's hilarious.[/tangent]

Perhaps Dana was using historical math(s).

He said "sloth" but he knew it was wrong.

Have him checked out by a neurologist, if he's willing. Word substitution is a different beast than poor recall. Mr. Clod's dad switched a few words, a nurse friend insisted he go see a doctor, and they caught a brain tumor.

Yeah - yeah that's it. Historical maths - totally.

He's very resistant. He has been forgetting words for a while but refuses to take the meds he's been prescribed. I think he was trying to find porcupine in his head but sloth which he knew was wrong was the creature with similar characteristics, so that's all he had. :( He was always the absent minded professor type but it's getting worse.

Sorry. That must be so hard to watch. :(

Could be a series of vascular strokes. This is what my Dad had. Then a bigger one which had him calling everyone Fforbes, and everything either "chicken" or "egg". The entertainment value wore off pretty quickly ...

Dammit, now I'm warping my own mind trying to figure out what characteristics a sloth and a porcupine share...

Slow tree climbing mammals. Something is tearing branches out of his tree likely a porky.

Besides, you're not old enough.

It has somehow eluded me that porcupines climb trees.

Must have killed that brain cell sometime or another.

cunty engineering teacher told Thor he has til Wednesday to turn in missing/corrected work or he will fail the class. Now OK, it's an extension, but his fucking father is fucking"actively dying" like this week and she's been informed. He needs less stress, not more -he clearly struggles with the regular fucking homework load as it is WTFF? :cry: This is too hard

This is the fucking fuck : drop it off the list. Forgiveness VS permission. Your instinct that other stuff is much, much more important is correct. Just stay on track, the teacher's stuff will wash out later. It will. You can freely forget about it starting now.

my daughter's facebook posts are breaking my heart. again.
