38737, my life is already more profound...

"Well hello, how are you doing this afternoon?"

"Three-eight-seven-three-seven."

I proceeded to type the information onto the screen, then grabbed her one pound bag of cashews and ran it past my register. "That is quite a state to be in, I must admit" I spun back at her.

"Ha ha, now that is a profound statement."

"Well that must be a good state to be in because seven, my favorite number, is in their twice. Seven is also a number that occurs often in religion such as the seven levels of earth and seven levels of heaven in Islam, seven chakras in Hinduism, and the seven days of creation in Genesis."

She looked up as if this hot air balloon of a conversation had lost its air and was plummeting to the ground. "Mine is nine."

As I bagged the few groceries she had just purchased I continued to say, "Nine is a product of 3." She smiled as a laugh came out of her mouth. "When I was a child I often did multiplication tables in my head and seven was always the most fun. It was the oddest of all numbers." I thought about the number 49 and how peaceful it must be, then pushed the grocery bag towards her. She quickly grabbed the groceries as I said, "Well have a wonderful day anyways."

"You have a nice one too" she said as she smirked her way to the door.
