504

Troy: “Dada, my favorite number is five hundred and four.”
Me: “So, is your favorite number 504, or are your favorite numbers 500…and 4?”
Troy: “Yes.”
Me: “Well, which is it?”
Troy: “Five hundred and four.”
Me: “But that could be one number or two. So, do you like 504, or do you 500 and also like 4?”
Troy: “I like both.”
Me: “Okay, so you have two favorite numbers.”
Troy: “Yes, 500 and 4…and X.”
Me: “X? That’s not a number. It’s a letter.”
Troy: “Yeah, that’s my favorite letter.”
Me: “Why is that?”
Troy: “Because it’s just two lines. One that goes like this and one that goes like that.”
