    There is no such thing as negative numbers. “How do you take 5 apples from 3 when there are only 3 apples?” This was in elementary school in Wisconsin. The temperature regularly goes below zero. Pointing this out got me time in the corner. I’m still kinda salty about that.

      When you say “in the corner”, I’m guessing this was one of those really, really old small schools you’d see in Little House on the Prairie.
