We're at a family reunion near Snohomish, Washington this weekend. I was chatting with husband, Stepdaughter #1 and Son-in-law when I noticed her toenails. Cool!Stepdaughter #2 did them, SD#1 explained. SD#2, who is very artistic, used a toothpick to put the white dots on the purple background. And there are a prime number of dots on each toenail, SD#1 observed. SD#2, who is a neonatal ICU nurse in a large hospital in southern California, is quite taken with prime numbers.
"Really?!" I exclaimed, quite impressed. "Why prime numbers?"
"She's always liked them" SD#1 explained. When she puts food in the microwave to heat it up, she programs in a prime number of seconds for the heating time. And when she flips her hair downwards to add volume to it, she always shakes it up and down a prime number of times.
"How very odd," Husband said, hearing of it.
I laughed. "Well, they're all odd except for the number 2," I said.
"But the fact that there is only one even prime number is also odd," he said.
He got me with that one!
I was going to comment on my shock at your toes looking like that. Just doesn't seem like something you'd do. I thought perhaps I didn't know you as well as I thought I did. It was relief mixed with disappointment, actually, to learn they weren't your toes. :o)
ReplyDelete:) I'll tell SD#2 to read this post!
