1 picture is to 1000 words as 1000 pictures is to _______

I’m always pleased when we get to incorporate math into our daily living- it becomes more like an intriguing puzzle, less like work.

Carter: Mom? What’s a thousand times a thousand?

Me: mmmm. Add up the zeros, right? So. . . a hundred times a thousand is a hundred thousand, so a thousand times a thousand is. . .

Carter: A thousand thousand?

Me: A million.

Carter: Ah. (nodding wisely) So a thousand pictures are worth a million words.

Which means my iphoto folder is worth 7,895,000 which means I finished nanowrimo after all.
