0s and Os

December 9, 2008

Ethan: What time is it?

Me: Nine oh four

Ethan: Why do people say “oh” when it’s zero?

Me: I don’t know, I guess because a zero and an “o” look alike

Ethan: But a zero is round and an O is an oval, right?

Me (thinking): Ah son, if Grampa Luoma was here, he’d be calling you a “Literal Luoma” right now.

Me (saying): “Yup, you’re right.”
