Welp Time To Round Up A Mob - Blog Posts

1 year ago
A drawing of Ford and Stan Pines as 1st graders. Ford is looking sadly at his hands, which have his first and second fingers taped together. Stan is looking up and saying "Ma! They taped Sixers fingers together at school!"
Ford hides his hands behind his back, and crying a little bit he explains "We were learnin math and- and she said- and- and the teacher, she said- She said we should use our fingers because theres-"
Ford looks up and continues "Because there's 10 of em- An i said- And- An I said I've got 12."
Ford looks back down and starts trembling "So she came over and she- She-"
Ford bursts into tears, yelling "WAHHHHH". Stan starts crying a little and moves to comfort him.

When I was making that math video I realized that to have Ford count on his fingers in a way that reflected our normal base 10 way of counting, Ford would have to basically ignore 2 of his fingers constantly

Which made me wonder what his time in the early grades of school mustve been like... The outlook was not good
