on our way to school today, there were several stories on the radio about the passing of Clare Hollingworth (http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/10/509125437/reporter-who-broke-the-story-of-start-of-wwii-dies-at-105), the famed trail-blazer female reporter.
the fact that she lived to 105 caught the attention of nissa, and she commented that she lived longer than grandma margaret, who only lived to 94 (ok, almost 94, about two months shy).
so what do i do? i ask her how much longer ms. hollingworth lived than grandma margaret. she correctly answers 11.
on one hand, i'm glad we can speak so freely about the wonderful woman who left us, grandma margaret. on the other hand, it seems weird to discuss her life in the context of a math problem.
