Our kids like to tell stories.  Last week I mentioned their Roman sons, and this week the kids and their many sons were up to more exciting adventures.  Here's an excerpt of a lunchtime conversation where they caught me up to speed on all they had been doing in their play time.
Joshua: Hannah and I drove a trillion and ten passenger bus to church today.  It was a trillion and ten stories tall.  That's very tall.
Me: Wow...that certainly is tall.
Joshua: Yeah, well, we have a trillion and ten kids.
Me, trying not to have the typical response when a person finds out how many children you have: I bet that's a lot of fun.
Joshua: Well, it is.  But Hannah and I are having our trillion and eleventh child.  We want to get to a trillion and twenty.  [thoughtful pause] And then maybe a trillion and trillion.  How about that, Hannah?  A trillion and trillion kids?!
Hannah: Okay.
