The other day I tutored a student in intermediate algebra. This student has a tendency to panic when she sees too many letters and numbers in one place. I gave her a problem that required her to incorporate her recently acquired knowledge of imaginary numbers. When she reached that step, she froze.
"You can do it," I told her.
"Says the Easter bunny!" she exclaimed.
My other favorite saying of hers? Instead of saying "no way!" she says, "shut the front door!"
