Ok, bearing in mind that my daughter is only 5 1/2 years old, I would like to point out that the following concept may not have been grasped even by adults.
We are driving back from the lovely Westport pool today and I had the following interchange with the Boy Child and the Girl Child.
BC: Pappa, are lifeguards nice?Me: All the lifeguards I've met have been nice so I'd say that they are nice.
GC: But, Pappa, that doesn't mean anything. [I knew immediately what she was getting at here and I was blown away]
Me: Why not?
GC: Just because you've met some nice lifeguards doesn't mean that all the lifeguards in the whole world are nice.
I was really stunned. She's just 5 1/2 and here, it was clear, she was objecting to my generalizing about lifeguards as a class based on my limited personal experience. And she was certainly right to do so, I think.
I'm so proud of her.
