So, Owen is perfectly capable of taking the next step in his reading skills, but not usually that interested.  We don't push too hard.  Just a little here and there and we keep it fun.  Reuel just relayed this conversation to me and I have to record it.

R:  Owen, how about we get out one of your reading books?
O:  I don't want to.
R:  But I'll give you a quarter if you read one to me...
O:  Well...I've got enough quarters.
R:  Owen, how much money would it take to get you to read me a book?
[Long pause]
O:  A googol.

(googol, noun: a number that is equal to 1 followed by 100 zeros and expressed as 10 ¹⁰⁰ )

(Context:  Owen had been asking earlier about the BIGGEST number and is unsatisfied with the answer inifinity.  So Reuel explained the concept of googol.  At least his comprehension is good, if the reading skills not quite as far along.)
