Ah... that reminds me... your six year old is asked if she is praying when mumbling under her breath in her first grade classroom. "Nope," she announces, "I was reciting the Gettysburg Address."

When your seven year old wants to watch the Lord of the Rings movies (PG 13). You think they are probably a little too gory for her in spite of her high tolerance for such things with no nightmares, so tell her she has to read the three Tolkien books in the series before she can watch the movies. Thinking this will buy you a couple of years -- it takes her three months.

When Grandpa refused to play chess with the seven year old any more because she beats him every time.
