This is SO Michael!

Yesterday mom told me that I just had to check out the Big Nate comic in the paper. I'm not a reader of the comic pages, so I need to be pointed to ones that are relevant.

Well, this one was SO relevant! It is SO Michael!

Michael loves numbers. He figured out the digits in numbers all by himself. He will say, " One thousand has a one and 3 zeros. Ten thousand has a one and 4 zeros. 100 thousand has a one and 5 zeros." All the way up to "A billion has a one and 9 zeros."

He's asked at times what number has 100 zeros. So now we know. A googol has 100 zeros.
