Rounding Up When You Should Round Down
(I am in the backseat, while my older brother is in the front with my mother. Her cell phone rings.)
Mom: “Hey, [older brother], will you answer that for me?”
Brother: “Sure, hello?”
(It’s my mother’s boss.)
Brother: “Yeah, my mom’s around. I told her to go on a diet for years, but she never listens.”
(You can hear through the phone how hard my mom thwacks my brother.)
