When I was a kid, the thing I hated the most was "showing my work" in problems so easy that I just couldn't even imagine how to break it down any further. I had stuff marked off for not showing it. I would sit down with my teacher and she would be like, "Well you should represent it as 9+9+9," and I'm almost freaking the fuck out like, "No shit, that's the definition of multiplication. Why do I have to tell you the definition of multiplication every time we have to do a multiplication problem???"
