I tried doing this math problem with Jonah.

I thought it would be an easy one for him, but it turns out it’s more difficult than I first imagined.

To me, it is easy to explain, when you have “nothing” and add “nothing,” you STILL have “nothing.”

But in this instance, “zero” is a concept more than a number.

So, to Jonah…

If you have one zero and add another zero, you now have TWO zeros.

How can you add “nothing” to “nothing” and still have “NOTHING?”

“No. You now have TWO ‘nothings.’ “

That makes an awful lot of sense to me and now my brain hurts trying to think about it.
