me thinks that's two young ladies who've lead a sheltered life .....

(almost as bad as a tale told me this morning by my mother who was shocked that 12 year olds don't know how to do fractions. That's nothing I said, my wife has problems with 16-17 year olds who can't. seems on reason is teachers teaching numbers (not maths) who themselves don't like/understand it and pass on their feelings of inadequacy)
