Do you believe? A Question for Philosophers and Children
When I was walking out of the train station at Bryant Square park yesterday, I witnessed the following.
A mother, father, and daughter---the daughter was about 2 or 3---were ascending the stairs to street level together. The daughter was holding her father's hand with one hand, and her mother's with the other, and her parents lifted her up each step. As they ascended each one, they counted out loud together.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine!"
At "nine," the daughter interrupted loudly, "I don't believe in nine!"
