I could never get across algebra. Detested mathematics, probably because it showed me I was not as smart as I would like to be.
I'm a retired accountant and having a good knowledge of math and algebra helped me in that career.

the pledge of Allegiance in French
Made me think about "Are you sleeping, are you sleeping brother John" but in French also. I started grade school in Canada and learned it there.

International Morse Code. Learned it when I was ten to earn my ham license and can still read it today.
I couldn't master that in a million years. Can you read Semaphore flagging?

This is a first hearing this for me. I'm sure you both had a happy life together.My late husband's raccoon and bullfrog calls he made using no tools, strictly his own voice and so real.
Weird thing I know but how many people do you run across that can do that?
Smart Mom!
