My nephew is 5, pretty smart and also internet savvy. But still being five, he grapples with certain ideas because his world is small.
Me: Do you love me?
Nephew: Yes.
Me: How much do you love me?
Nephew: 80 dollars!
$80? Chump change! But he hasn't seen $80 yet so he thinks that's a lot already. And since a lot or very much is abstract, my nephew was trying to be very specific and I congratulate him on that. Plus at least he didn't say 80 cents!
