When your kids assign themselves code names on a public playground and invent an entire magical universe, seemingly oblivious to all other kids and parents there.

when your *just* 5 year old child chooses an animal to be in swimming class using it's full and common names, and gives random facts about said animal (including endangered status and gestational period) before committing to swimming like said animal.

When your 2 year old mixes in "I can't do it" with words like actually, contrary, outdated and urchin.

When your 6 year old lectures extended adult relatives on genetic selection and the origins of the study of Genetics after hearing them say "she looks just like her mother". (AND you never realised they knew that stuff!!)
