Princesses can be mathematicians too
November 2, 2009
[greets three tiny trick-or-treaters]
Them: Trick or treat!
Me: I see we have a puppy, Mickey Mouse and, well, you must be a mathematician!
Little girl [defiantly stomping foot]: I’m a princess!
Me: Princesses can be mathematicians too.
(Puppies can’t be mathematicians?)
Mickey was a mathematician! (in one of the cartoons I watched a Sunday morning when I was a kid — or was it Goofy?)
Or maybe you’re thinking about Donald Duck? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_in_Mathmagic_Land
