When my kid does 6-7 I do the same gesture saying 8-9. It also means nothing and it's bigger, so "I win". Annoys the hell out of them.
I go with "Ya, 42 right? I love Hitchhiker's guide. You are never going to go wrong with a guy Hitchhikers reference with me.". And then I go for a high-five that never gets returned. This shuts the entire thing down in such an amusing way.
"Why was 6 scared of 7? Because 7 8 9."
(that works better spoken, than in text. ... 7 ate 9.)

42 is objectively the best number since it is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
I prefer 0118 999 88199 9119 725 3
My favorite thing is the boomer anger towards 6-7
"Back in my day, our funni numbers mean something, and we wore onions on our belts, as was the fashion of the time"
I mean well yeah. The other numbers actually have some kind of meaning 67 is just nothing.

McDonald’s is always a fun time with my friends if that’s our number. No one else bats an eyelid however.
But Christ when 67 appears
The whole story of 6 and 7 ain't shit without 7 8 9. You scared bro?
