The only way I was able to understand math was as a language. I am language-based. I like words. I had to drop calculus in high school because I was so stupid and lazy and when I was forced to take chemistry in college I just sat there, stunned, while the prof. commenced with what I felt was pure magic. All I did was look to the person sitting directly across from me and say, "What, now?" and, "I don't get it." I think I made that prof. weep. It was a surreal experience and I fervently wish to never repeat it.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
