Kid Logic

Rina (teacher): Nicole? Are you here today, Nicole?

Nicole: Yup! Here I am!

Rina: ok, prove it!

Nicole: I am standing right here.

Rina: But what if I am just imagining that you are right here? How do I know if you are real?

Raynham: You mean she might be Fake Nicole?

Nicole: I am standing right here next to Raynham and you can touch me. So you know I am here.

Raynham: Yes, see here we are.

Rina: What if Raynham is also in my imagination? Raynham, can you prove you are really here? Maybe I am dreaming.

Raynham: You are not dreaming because everything and everybody is here like it always is when you are awake.

Rina: you mean, even that purple bunny standing next to you?

Nicole: there is no bunny.

Rina: prove it! I see a purple bunny with a purple bow standing next to Raynham. Just like I see you sating next to Raynham.

Raynham: Rina! There is no bunny. I am Raynham and I am wearing Raynham’s things and I know everything Raynham should know. So I am Raynham and I am right here.

Rina: I don’t know for sure. You really could be Imagined Raynham in Raynham clothes with Raynham ideas and Raynham memories.....

Raynham: Well then, if I am imaginary, then you are imaginary... and we are imaginary together – so it doesn’t matter what I can prove!
