A young boy named Ighty asks his mother how much she loves him. She responds with increasingly large numbers, but he keeps asking if her love is as many as the shapes, colors, numbers, and letters he knows. Each time, the mother replies "More than those!" Finally, tired of asking, Ighty wonders why she always says that. His mother explains that she loves him so much only Jesus can count it. Ighty is satisfied and says that when he goes to heaven, he will ask Jesus to count his mother's love for him.
