Time: Today, before bedtime
Place: In the nursery.
Mama walks into the room and sees a pile of books scattered all over the floor. Papa is sprawled out too, obviously spent after reading the numerous books to Zoe.
Mama (in a determined voice): Alright, it's bedtime now.
Zoe (buying time): Mama? Mama read!
(Mama sighs)
Mama: Ok, but just one.
Zoe (pronounces with great emphasis and gestures with her fingers): Two!
Zoe prances off to pick her selection off the shelf. Mama wonders if it was such a good thing to teach Zoe how to count so early on.
