Dumb Mommy!!!

As usual, I am busy (?) on the laptop.
The kid shows her palms and says,
Mom What do I have in my hands?
I stop and think. (!)

She says, Come on! It starts with the letter Z.

I say, Zebra!!
(Z for Zebra is all that comes to mind
I wonder who was my KG teacher. She is to be blamed.)

No!!!! Not Zebra. Its a number!!
She is kind enough to give clues and I am dumb enough to not take it seriously.

There is NO number that starts with Z!!!

What are you saying?
There is! ZERO.
I have nothing in my hands!!

Gee...
Why do I have a feeling that this is just the beginning.
