I can’t believe people have it memorized 😭 I still struggle. I have to use the alligator trick. The alligator wants to eat more food so the opening goes to the bigger number. I have to think that every time

I used to think that when I just used it for numbers but I use it so much for saying things are better than other things that I just memorized it. Like for a basic example: apple pie > pumpkin pie

In that situation, I understand what it means immediately. But with numbers, I take a minute
