Small Stone # 31

I think, he said, that five and a

half year olds can ride their bikes

without training wheels.

I think you are probably right,

I said. Do you want to try?

Later I said I think five and a half year

olds can swim on their own.

No, he said, frowning, six year olds

can do that.

My cogent arguments did not

sway him so, six, I said at last,

and we put the bike away.
