Guinea Pigs And Maths

[Swissgreys]

And so my ongoing guinea pig education continues.

Today I found out (courtesy of DD1) that guinea pigs are excellent at 6th Grade math.
Apparently sitting on the sofa with a guinea pig on your lap/shoulder, actually improves your productivity, and is not a distraction.
At all.
Even when the guinea pig tries to eat your pencil.

Who knew, but keep your eyes open for DD1 and Ruby at a top university (majoring in maths of course) in about 6 years.

What an excellent homework aid.

Everyone should have a homework piggle!

I agree, best way to do homework!

I'm most productive when I have Oreo on my lap lol. Ruby is very cute

I wish I had a homework guinea pig when I was at school, I might have got better grades

At last. I have had a Eureka moment. The reason why I'm so rubbish at maths is because I didn't have a guinea pig when I was at junior school. I so blame my parents. I should have had a Ruby.

I had guinea pigs but was still useless at maths, I think Ruby must be a special magical guinea pig.

I've never attempted doing homework with one of my piggies; definitely going to try this!

Oh and apparently Eddi is rather good at French, even though it looked (to my untrained eye) like he was just trying to eat the homework folder....

All of my hopes are now pinned on Oreo being excellent at tax returns

You are SO right to blame your parents @VickiA
I would be asking for compensation if it were me - think what a maths genius you could have been if only they bought you a study guinea pig

Ruby thinks so too.

Ruby is so stunning! I've decided that it should be mandatory for all pupils to have homework pigs. No wonder I get confused! Ugh. It's all become clear!

We had the gorgeous Emmy when I was doing (ahem) O levels, but I don't think she was a maths genius! Well done Ruby; you're super special!

On the other hand, I think my boys are all rather excellent at helping me when I'm working at home. Should I claim them as a business expense? They are certainly more helpful than a lot of expenses that the HMRC regard as more legitimate!

I hope Oreo can help out with the tax return!
