Honey, negative 5 is definitely not greater than negative 2. In the world of numbers, the closer you get to zero, the bigger the value. So negative 2 is actually greater than negative 5. It's basic math, darling.

The way to think of negative numbers is to think "How far away from 0 am I getting?" In other words, if you go -5, you are going further than if you go -2 because 5 is more than 2 and you're going backwards, away from 0. That means that -2 is a larger number (closer to 0).
