I love my daughter. She is one of the most intelligent, articulate and interesting people I have ever met.
Over the holiday break, I would ask her a question regarding
quantity--an example would be, how many grapes would you like with your
lunch? Her response was invariably "one thousand six hundred fifty
nine". After about the 25th time she used that precise number, I
finally noticed the trend. I asked her where she got that number and
she just giggled and replied "I don't know it just pops in my head
whenever you ask."
It had been a few weeks since a number question had peppered our
conversation. This morning at breakfast I asked "how many slices of
toast would you like?" Her response "you know...." My response "no, I
don't know". Her response "one thousand six hundred fifty nine" with
liberal giggles. A, K and I just burst into shared laughter.
I'm documenting here so SOMEDAY we can try to link that mysterious number with whatever it is intended to be linked.
