   To an even younger child it's close to a Ding an sich. 'Doggie' already is   
   a departure from immediate reality. Mommy intrudes and says 'No it is a   
   cat.'  Later Mommy adds the concept of 'two cats' and we're off to the   
   races. Eventually the kid gets a PhD in math and lives in a completely   
   abstract world unable to make a pot of coffee.
