Lenny Kravitz and Me

I think we can all agree that Lenny Kravitz is one of the coolest people alive. He was biracial before it was trendy. He's got that styled 'fro, face jewelry, and rock musician cred. Cool, cool, and cool.

That's why I was delighted to find, as I read toward the end of an interview with him, that he is MY AGE. Not only that, he is four months OLDER than I am. There he is in a full-length picture wearing black leather pants, sunglasses and a dark metallic-grey sport coat with a black satin lapel.

Thus, using the associative property in math:
If Lenny Kravitz = my age, and Lenny Kravitz = cool, then I = cool. It's math! You can't argue with math.

Now, I know some of you might be thinking: But, Rhonda, you've never, ever been cool not even for one minute of your life ever. Not even when you were what would be more traditionally considered a cool age, like in your teens or 20s. Not even during the 1980s when big hair was cool and you had big hair. Not even when you were on a show on MTV! Never. Been. Cool.

So, let's say you have a point. Even so, the mere fact that someone my age can be one of the coolest people alive still provides me with a certain validity. And I'm sure all of the extremely cool math teachers out there will agree with me. Rock on, associative property. Rock on.

P.S. If you are a math teacher, and you are opening your mouth about to utter: "But wait, that's not how..." Just stop right now and go find some calculus to do. Or the Sudoku.
