...When you have to make easy instructions difficult so they have to figure out how to do it. Like, for my now 4th grader, instead of memorizing multiplication tables over and over we had to turn it into a game of "is the number prime or composite."

...When your then 8 year old was helping her 16 year old cousin with his Spanish homework and Geography.

...When she can tell you how to build a bridge but has difficulty tying her shoes and still can't ride a bike.

...when she corrects typos on math worksheets. Or asks if she should put the correct answer or the answer the worksheet is wanting. And yes there is a difference.

...or she asks you how the best way to correct her teacher would be. Because she doesn't want to get in trouble but the teacher is wrong and your student has proof.

...when your now 9 year old is your secret weapon on your trivia team because no one thinks about you bringing your kid to the trivia game. Until others realize you only have three members to their 8 and your team is winning...LOL

...when your family doctor loans your 8 year old an anatomy book for her to look at.

...when your 8 year old goes on a school trip with the her gifted class to the Davinci Machines exhibit and brings home a print of a Davinci painting she wants to hang up in her room. But it's not the Mona Lisa. It's Lady with an Ermine because she liked it better.
