An obsession with zero

Well, what can i say... Anjali has been rather obsessed with the idea of zero. Only that I am not sure she understands what it means.

Yesterday, she asked me

"Mummy, I want ice pops"

"Ok. how many ice pops do you want?"

"I want zero ice pops" (with the air of one asking for a hundred)

"Zero ice pops?"

"Yes"

"You dont want any ice pops?"

"eh?"

A long silent beat

"Mummy - zero means no ice pops?"

"Yes"

"hmm??"
