Twinonometry

Our food order was taking an extraordinarly long time to materialize recently, and the boys were becoming hungry and fussy. They had grown bored with their crayons and wanted to eat. Digging in her purse, Sandy found only one toy car for diversion.  She handed it to Davey and kept digging for something interesting for Benji. Suddenly she got an inspiration and handed him her calculator. It had lots of buttons to push and displayed numbers for him to count. He was fascinated by it and had to be encouraged to sit it down when our food finally appeared. The next day, Sandy visited the Wal-mart to purchase one green and one blue calculator so each boy would have his own. The restaurant’s check for our next time out was $30.00, the cost of two fascinating boy toys was $2.00, and the value of a peaceful family meal was priceless.
