6 year old takes me down...

I love when I am humbled by a 6 year old. Keeps it real.

During a great lunch at the Kushnir household, I was discussing DeBeers and the diamond industry (my new favorite topic, right?) and talking about the size of the industry.

"Yeah, those De Beers guys make a bazillion dollars as a monopoly."

At that point, Samuel, the 6 year old chimes in and says:

"There's no such number as a bazillion! It's a billion."

"You're right," I said, "what number comes next?"

"A trillion!" he shouted.

"Ok, tough guy, what's next?" I asked.

"That's easy," he replied. "A trillion and one!"
