Like a pyramid,

My dad is so (fill-in-the-blanks) ___________ to me just now.
Yeah I guess my dad IS very pro in physics and personally I think I should ask him any question I have in mind. AND GUESS WHAT I GOT?!
I am so freaking pissed by smarty pants around the world, I’m not even going to lie.
Seriously, you wanna know what happened just now after dinner? Well, here it is.
After dinner, I was mugging and reading through my physics textbook and I asked dad a question. YOU KNOW WHY I EVEN BOTHER TO ASK?! Because my parents and teachers always encourage us to do it, that’s why. Right, I went to ask him:
is 1.0 x 10^-6 = 0.1 x 10^-5 (?)
Well, the equation was correct, and he said nothing and just stare the equation, like I did it wrong or something. Then he told me to show how I got this answer. So I told him about how the decimals move and such. He then told me to draw out.
So I drew the number of zeros present and blahblah, all the math things you know, primary school things. And you know what he freaking said?
“Oh, so what if I gave you 10^-100000, what are you going to draw, 100000 zeros?”
And he claimed he will punch my head, I AM NOT LYING. Honestly, he said he will punch my head every time when I am going to make a mistake in studies so I guess I pretty numb with that statement already.
Or not. Because I screamed at him that it was him in the first place who asked me to show him how I got my answer. And yeah Mr Physics Pro, I am stupid, I can only draw zeros, SO WHAT HUH? It’s not like I gave the wrong equation did I?
He chided me for not writing in a “mathematician” way and he furiously wrote on the paper:
ie. 13 x 10^-6=13 x 10^-1 x 10^ -5 = (13/10) x 10^-5 = 1.3 x 10^-5
AHAHAHHAAHAHA, right dad, I got it you are smart HAPPY?
And I am one math-and-physics idiot, isn’t it.
At that time, I need to bathe and go and sleep, and he furiously wrote on my paper another freaking math question on STANDARD FORMS and INDEX and asked me to solve it. Well seriously if I got that wrong again he’s gonna whack me, no doubt.
And the question was: PRESENT 0.0005 x 10^-10000 in STANDARD FORM.
Yeah, you got that right. He’s freaking trying to teach me but his way his totally absurd.
So I wrote everything I know, like it equals to 0.0005 x 10 to the power of 4 times 10 to the power of negative 10004 equals to 5 times 10 to the power of negative 10004.
And he looked through and said, “UHM.” , so I was correct and I snatched the paper from him because I was SO PISSED OFF.
When I (finally) went to shower, I could hear mom saying that he is teaching me the wrong way. Hahahhaa sorry dad, next time, try and learn how to teach without losing your temper for no big deal at all.
I love you, dad. I know you are trying to help me with my physics, so all I am going to do is to hide your slippers under the sofa so you will have to look for them tomorrow
I am such a bad girl (: Who cares anyway, I’m just being myself, a messed-up-brain kid. Someday I really wish I can be as smart as my dad.
GOOD NIGHT!
