"Ah, so it's something that comes naturally to you," Alison commented sagely, storing the information in the back of her mind. Maybe she could do some science project on the biological improbability of someone with her genetic makeup and background being good at math. Her dad had to take a calculator out when he went to the grocery store, he was no Albert Einstein either.
Leaning back so that she could stretch a bit, Ali shrugged and said, "I'm just not good at math. It's not that I'm not...okay, I'm not interested. But, like, it's not that I don't try, it's that I don't get the right answer."
