Zach's Infinite Wisdom

I don't know whether Zach is funnier than his sisters were at his age or I just have the time and energy to document his musings, but every day he says something to make me laugh.  Yesterday seemed to be full of funny moments.

Yesterday I volunteered in Zach's class.  I was sitting in the back of the room doing a numbers assessment with each child when I happened to tune in to the lesson his teacher was leading.  She was working on number sequences.  On the wall was a large chart covered with small plastic squares in which were the numbers 1-30.  She would ask the kids to close their eyes and she would remove one number.  Then she would ask which number was missing.  The exhanges went like this:

Teacher:  "What number is missing?"
Student:  "Number 7."
Teacher:  "How do you know that?"
Student:  "Because it comes after 6."

Teacher:  "What number is missing?"
Student:  "Number 22."
Teacher:  "How do you know that?"
Student:  "Because it comes before 23."

Then came Zach's turn:

Teacher:  "What number is missing?"
Zach:  "Number 13 and I know this because I can count to infinity."

Later that night I was playing Mastermind with Zach just before bed.  We were both tired and at one point I said, "Hmmm...this is a tricky one."  And Zach replied, "Well, it **is** called Mastermind."
