A friend recently suggested I write a book titled "Cheaper by the Half Dozen". She told me that meant I would have to have another baby to make it an even six. I like the idea for the title, but I'm not as fond of the idea of more kids.
Another friend refers to my offspring as the Fab Five and, as you all know, I do like prime numbers. I guess that rules out the possibility of six.
I might need to polish up on my syntax and grammar before embarking on the pursuit of writing a book. It's one thing to write a blog for my family and friends, but outside you, who would buy my book? I'd sell 10 copies and just isn't enough to become New York Times Best Seller so, I guess I'll stick to my blog.

Yes, five is a prime number, but as any mathematician will tell you, six is a perfect number!
What the heck is a perfect number?
This is getting complicated.
A perfect number is when you take all of the factors of a number (factors being the numbers you can divide into the number evenly) and add them together. If you get the same number that you found the factors for, that number is a perfect number. For example 6; its factors are 1,2 and 3. When you add those up you get 6. Another example is 28. It's factors are 1,2,4,7,14, when you add those up you get 28.
