The Cubs have been talking about large numbers and large things with Mr Dad (we do love a bit of hidden maths). This leads to all manner of interesting conversation …
RoRo: “Dada. Do you know something?”
Mr Dad: “Yes RoRo. I know quite a lot actually.”
RoRo: “Ohh … but this is something else. Do you know the sea? It’s very hard to get frozen, because it keeps moving. And it’s very big!
Mr Dad: “Wow RoRo that’s very true.”
RoRo: “Dada. Do you know something?”
Dad: “Clearly not as much as you RoRo.”
RoRo: “Do you know that a ‘gurgle’ has a hundred zeros.”
Mr Dad: “That’s right. A Googol does have a 100 zeros.”
RoRo: “And a ‘Gurleplux’ has a hundred hundred zeros!”
Mr Dad: “Actually a Googolplex has a googol of zeros, but you’re right that it’s much much bigger.”
RoRo: “But a ‘Graham’ is the biggest number! And I know how to spell it… G – R – A – Y – M”
Mr Dad: “That’s good enough for me.”
RoRo: “Why can’t people count the number of zeros in a Graham?”
Mr Dad: “That’s a really good question. Why do you think it’s so hard to do?”
RoRo: “Because a Graham is sooooo big! Did you know itis the biggest number!?!”
Mr Dad: “That’s right RoRo. But do you know what an ‘Anthea’ is?“
RoRo: “Yes! An ‘Anthea’ has orangy-browny hair. She’s a bit bossy. And has big boobies. Do you know the one I’m talking about? Well, hmm? …
Mr Dad: “Mummy!“
RoRo: “Yes… and she’s no ordinary ‘Anthea’. She’s our Mummy!”
Mr Dad: “She is indeed.”
RoRo: “Dada…do you know something?
Mr Dad: “RoRo… are there a lot of things in your head that you need to get out again today?”
RoRo: Yes! Yes!! How did you know that Daddy?”
