I'm gonna smack the guy who invented the decimal!

Why do we need them anyway? I remember the first teacher who introduced these partial numbers to me. Everyone was confused. Why did she want to cut my precious whole numbers into parts? What did they ever do to her? It's such a violent math lesson. There are people cutting pizza, pie, cake.....no wonder I have a weight problem! I just want someone to quit picking on all those yummy foods! Anyway, as you might have guessed I was down only a fraction of a pound this week. 0.4 to be exact. I worked out really hard yesterday.....I'm determined to accomplish WHOLE numbers this week!
