Its time for another discussion topic with any and all numbers the focus.
Sacred Geometry - Gematria - Numerology - the Fibonacci Sequence - Number Theory - the Polarity of Odd/Even Numbers - the sky's the limit!!!
Numbers can be Sacred, Lucky, Unlucky - Numbers have Attributes and can reflect wholeness - oneness - infinity - new beginnings - the God Force - creation - cycles -not to mention negative aspects like 'fear of the unknown' - 'fear of change' - etc.
For example - The cycle of 108 years is important to Rosicrucians - the number 108 is considered Sacred in many Eastern religions and traditions - Stonehenge is 108 feet in diameter - there are 108 cards in a UNO deck - in India 108 is called for emergencies - and so on. (Please help me out here - looking for explanations)

If it creates a smile here and there then the world will surely benefit.
Thanks for sharing that, Elizabeth, it is so funny - young children have a unique sense of humor - nothing complicated - short and sweet - like those knock knock jokes of my younger days!!!
With hope that some discourse might happen, I started the same discussion - Numbers For Fun - on other pages - California, Florida, and the RC Cultural Center of NY - your response would be perfect if you are interested in joining them and posting - and - if not - ask if you would then mind if I shared your daughter's joke with credit?
That sounds like the one my daughter always says:
What is the scariest number?
Answer: 7
...because 7 8 9 (read it aloud. Poor nine...)
Hungry Numbers:
They are named hungry numbers because they try to eat as much "pi" as possible.
Well ok - there is some truth to this - but not being a mathematician by any stretch of the imagination - will let someone else explain it.
Thanks Elizabeth,
Great comment - "We are all One." I love that!!!
Even in numerology - with the number one having both positive and negative polarities - the One can take on a range of traits from Creation - to Love - Intuition - Unique - Intolerance - Conceit - Arrogance - maybe considering our oneness in the traits that we might all have and reflected in our 'duality.'
