Cute and funny story to show how kids exaggerate and how parents can tell

This poem tells a funy tale of a child claiming to be sick and cannot go to school. The child lists a funny list of symptoms as reasons of not going to school

After 10 years on my bookshelf, I‘ve finally read it. Bernstein set out to do two things - one fell short. Where he excelled was to weave a compelling narrative of ideas that explain our understanding of risk, through intuition to probability to predicting and managing risk. Where he fell short was in his attempt to argue that any sort of faith held us back from quantifying risk. It‘s a fine thesis but he failed to substantiate it with facts. 👇

Dostoyes Overall I do recommend it for those who love history, especially the history of ideas. he had a lot of fun describing the characters behind famous people we‘ve learned to view reverently like Pascal. 5y
Dostoyes Last tidbit, the cover photo is an amusing choice for a book on risk: a Rembrandt painting part of the famous robbery at the Isabella Stewart Gardner in Boston some years later. 5y

Probably just a little too ambitious for one weekend, but hoping to finish the tagged book and final chapter of new edition of Paul Starr, which is a favorite.
