You know...
I mean...
I mean you think about those kids who didn't grasp these concepts in High school...
And you really didn't give it much thought, cuz well, you got it and that's all that really mattered in the end...
Until, one day...it bites you in the butt!

A: No.

Awesome! I also like when she says, "What would point zero zero 2 dollars look like?" A flying monkey!!
