One of the topics we recently 'learned' (and I use that term loosely) is inverse functions.
You know, when what was x is now y. What was C(m) is now C-1(m). Or something like that!

that was written in caps for effect only. I would NEVER dream of raising my voice~especially at 8:00am.
And less than 9 hours later have to say...
"EMMA, WHY WERE YOUR SHOES LEFT LYING IN THE FRONT HALLWAY? ARE THEY THERE FOR EVERYONE TO TRIP OVER!
again, caps ~~only for emphasis, no voices were raised in the
AND if they have not been absorbing my lessons on inverse functions why would these sentences have had to be spoken.....

and then, just a few hours later....
Don't you think that maybe you should turn a light on so you can see what you are reading without killing your eyesight. Common sense would tell you that if the room is dark, turn on a light!
I think they have got the idea of 'inverse' down pat!!!
