Perfect Numbers
After my cousin's little math lesson, I became curious about numbers. The perfect numbers are 6, 28, 496, 8128, and on to 2305843008139952128 (no, that is not just my credit card number). There are also semiperfect numbers, quasiperfect numbers, almost perfect numbers, hyperperfect numbers, unitary perfect numbers, and Ore harmonic numbers. I don't know what any of that means, I just know they exist. I feel smart thanks to Google and watching the show Numbers, even though I don't always understand what they are saying, I still think I am smart.

It's okay to be better with words than with numbers. I'm the same way. Randy took calculus, I never passed college algebra, but I had to write all his papers! (Between you and me, I sometimes have to use my fingers to count.)
The sad thing is, I don't think I'm much better with words. Plus, I still count on my fingers too.
