Why is 6 afraid of 7?

Because 7 8 9!

Awww... how sad!  She wasn't even in her teens!

Well, the number 9 is not yet in the teens!

But what's wrong with sad songs, anyway?

God loves you!  Don't eat any numbers!  Numbers are our friends!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson

P.S.  But she's still here!  Even though she's been eaten, the number 9 is still here!  Check for yourself- try and count up to 9!  She's still here!

Yeah, milking a joke.  Moo!
