One Million

Written on June 21st in Uncategorized

So this guy is counting to a million. He’s a friend of a friend and he’s raising money for a charity as well as trying to get in the record books. He’s been on CNN and radio stations across the country. No thankyou. I’m not a big fan of counting sheep and 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall bores me to tears.

    My five year old says all the time “Mom, lets count to a million”. And I tell him, “no, you go ahead”.. so then he counts to a million in integers of 100,000. I always breath a quiet sigh of relief.

    I counted to 10,000 a few times when I was little, out of boredom. Being an only child does strange things.

    Wait…What happens if he loses his place? Does he have to start over, or does he just go back to the last number he absolutely remembers counting?

    Oh my goodness, how very boring! I’ve never really understood doing something for the sake of doing it, particularly boring, repetitive things. There are certain things that should never be done: counting to 1,000,000 is probably one of them. And you’d think there would be more interesting things someone could do for charity money. But, hey, to each his own.

    You’d think he could do something productive while counting to a million…like rolling pennies, or boxing toothpicks. hmmm….I wonder how many blades of grass there are in my yard.. :-)

    I can’t imagine counting that high. At a certain point you would really have to concentrate…
    I’m sure I’d lose my place.

    He has a clicker so that he can go back and see what number he was on-how annoying would that clicker be after a couple days??????
