I don't know how many people celebrate this, but today is Pi Day. Pi is a mathematical constant, with the first three numbers being three, one and four. Most people just celebrate by baking or eating pies. I made one for my daughter's math class.

Pi itself is actually very fascinating, though. It was originally defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference, but now it's used in many formulas in math and physics. Its decimal presentation never settles into a permanent repeating pattern.

But, ah... I'm sure most people just care about the pie.

Can we add ice to it too? I could pick some up!

Are you sure? [ He wants her to pick? Well...that’s a bit hard but something does come to mind...] Papa...would that work?
thestoriesarereal: (Are you sure)

[personal profile] thestoriesarereal 2018-03-14 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I’ll grab a small container of ice cream.

[ She looks a little concerned. That maybe she picked the wrong word. But he says it’s okay...so maybe she should test it out. ]

...what time will you be home tonight, Papa?
thestoriesarereal: (Getting an idea)

[personal profile] thestoriesarereal 2018-03-14 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I’ll have to pick a new book soon, we’re almost done with the current one.

[ Oh...he might be gone all night then? ]

So...when you do work nights, do you want to try and cook dinner? If we have a slow cooker, it’ll cook throughout the day and everything should be ready when you get home. Emma...[ There’s a sad smile there. ] was thinking of getting one.
thestoriesarereal: (Are you sure)

[ There’s a shrug of her shoulders. ]

She was there at night...and if she couldn’t be, you were there.

I could sleep at the hospital? Or...maybe ask Jefferson?

[personal profile] thestoriesarereal 2018-03-14 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay...I'll ask Jefferson.

Does your schedule change every week? Or is it more or less steady? I could make a calendar for it, or we could use our phones and sync up a calendar.
thestoriesarereal: (Getting an idea)

So it's more or less finding someone to watch me in case of emergency situations too...

[She can't believe she's saying this but...]

...Maybe you could ask Jim, if he's up for it.
thestoriesarereal: (Convincing)

[personal profile] thestoriesarereal 2018-03-14 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to see if he's up to being a responsible adult.

[Said with the straightest face she could muster....and then smiles.]

Kidding, Papa. I'm...I'm trying. So, if he's free and you need to work...you could ask him to watch me.
thestoriesarereal: (Grin)

[personal profile] thestoriesarereal 2018-03-14 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[She grins a little more.] Does this mean you'll teach me poker?

Welcome, Papa.
thestoriesarereal: (Grin)

[personal profile] thestoriesarereal 2018-03-14 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Aren't there a lot of versions of poker?
thestoriesarereal: (Trying to adult)

[personal profile] thestoriesarereal 2018-03-14 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...what's the difference? Aside from the names.

Is there rainbow poker?
thestoriesarereal: (Default)

[personal profile] thestoriesarereal 2018-03-15 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...okay. One more high stakes than the other? Are we going to play for fun, money or with candy?

...Well, we'll do straight poker and Texas Hold 'Em.
thestoriesarereal: (Grin)

[personal profile] thestoriesarereal 2018-03-15 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a fast learner, so it won't be long until I have all that candy, Papa.

[It feels good calling him that, and once he's home, she'll be able to hug him and help him get dinner ready again.]
