Reading, Writing and Arithmetic

I was lucky enough to go to school and graduate with a high school diploma.  I was also lucky enough to attend college and earn a BS degree.  Even if I had not achieved the second goal, I feel I am smart enough to handle most of what life throws at me.  I learned tonite, everyone does not share that same mindset.  I literally watched a grown woman not be able to add 2 numbers multiple times to reach an answer.  At first I thought she was joking.  When I realized she was serious, I offered my help.
