We taught our daughter to count starting at zero. Her kindergarten teacher was not amused.
Counting starts at one, indexing starts at zero.
I didn't want to spoil their fun, but I'm glad you did. That kid's going to experience an embarassing moment of parental disillusionment the first time they try to be clever with a halfway competent math teacher.
Programming joke aside, that is a categorically incorrect way to teach someone how to count.
In respect to the English language asking someone at the bar to pour you zero beers should not yield any passing of drinks.
So for your kins sake, I hope you did not do that.
It is the way!
