So Mom called last night.
Ma: Hi. I have a question for you. What's the name of that series of numbers where...
Me: Fibonacci.
Ma:...where the numbers go in order adding together?
Me: Fibonacci.
Ma: You know, each one is the the last one and the one before it added?
Me: That's the Fibonacci sequence. It goes "1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8," right?
Ma: Right. That's it. How do you spell it?
Me: F-I-B-O- uh, I can't remember if it's one N or two -O[sic]-C-C-I.
Ma: I knew you were the person to ask. I thought it was Greek, though. It sounds more like an Italian name.
Me: That's because it probably is.
Ma: Okay, thanks. Bye.
