O versus 0--a subtle distinction.

Scene: Eben and Monroe playing with alphabet blocks in the floor of Monroe's bedroom.

Eben: What is that one Monroe ? (pointing to the letter O.)

Monroe: Oh!

Eben: (grinning mischievously and pointing to the number zero.) Okay, well what is that one?

Monroe: Zero!

[Eben and Melissa exchange astonished glances.]
