Shakespeare, help me figure out something.

Ok…..just let me finish eating these last two little bites of food.

I might have known you would be stuffing your face when I’m trying to understand something.

Never mind.  What’s your problem?

Well, Mom said this morning that it was minus ten degrees outside.  I’m thinking that’s pretty cold.

I know it’s cold ‘cuz I was standing by the door when she opened it, but I still don’t understand what you’re trying to figure out about it.

When it is zero degrees, doesn’t that mean that there are no degrees outside? 

I guess so.

How can we have less than no degrees then?  It doesn’t make sense to me.  If you don’t have any degrees to begin with, how can you have ten less of them?  Where are they coming from?

That’s way too much to think about!  Let’s go find some sunshine so we can lie down and take a nap.

Sounds good, but I’m still really confused about those numbers.  Did you eat all the food????
