The whole numbers

Charles was in pestering me about flashlights. He took my green flashlight and then asked for another green flashlight. I told him that I didn’t have two green flashlights and even if I did, he wouldn’t be happy because he’d just ask for three green flashlights. Charles considered this for a bit and then started say “I want two green flashlights! [giggles] I want three green flashlights! [giggles]”. After he got to five, he changed to “I want all numbers of flashlights!”. Corwin, I remember, would try to to think of new, bigger numbers. Charles appears to be a more abstract thinker and went straight for the entire set which, as he explained, would give him “the whole numbers of flashlights!”.
