I was talking to my cousin recently. She is very intelligent and married to a man who also is very smart. She told me that he chose their phone number because it is a prime number. I told her when we get a new phone number, I'll be sure to ask for a prime number and if we don't get to choose, than we'll have to settle for an even number. Then, she kindly taught me that a prime number is a number that can't be divided evenly.
You see, it's not my fault. I don't know what an adverb is either. I have an explanation for it, but it may only make sense to a woman that has numerous children.

Hey, I made it on your blog :) I didn't realize that you didn't know what a prime number was when I was talking to you. I hope I didn't make you feel bad. There are people whose job consists of finding bigger and bigger prime numbers. The bigger the number, the harder it is to tell if it is prime number. When I think about those people, I wonder if they would rather have my job :). Although, numbers are a bit more patient than kids.
You didn't make me feel bad. You made me laugh out loud at myself.
Think about it. Numbers don't have to be fed or cleaned up after either. That would be nice, however, after writing this post, I better stick to my day job.
