My Son...a Literary Genius?

 Here's an actual assignment he turned in at English class.  You be the judge: 

Dear Math,

I think we both know that this relationship has been doomed for a while.  

Since like first grade.
You've always been soo needy, 

telling me to solve all your problems,
but never giving me advice on mine. 
So I'm afraid that I'm ending it
here and now. 

Good luck solving your own problems. 
You've always been an unwanted relative who I barely know,
but I've put up with you to keep the peace.  

But no more.

It's not me, it's you.  

Sincerely,
Spencer

And his English teacher's comment: 

Nice twist with the cliché.  Great--do you want to submit to the lit. mag? 

And his mother's comment: 
It reminds me of a quote I once read, "As long as they teach Algebra, there will be prayers in school."   :) 

And a little tidbit I found while researching a way to help him with his, um,  homework:

proof:

We know,

Girls = Money x Time

We also know, Time is Money.

i.e. Time = Money.

therefore,

Girls = Money^2

We also know that money is the root of evil.

i.e. Money = root(Evil).

So, Money^2 = Evil.

Therefore,

Girls = Evil
(at least until after his mission)

And your comments....
