at playcentre, DD set up a dinosaur museum exhibit complete with fossils and bones. When the other 3 and 4 years showed little interest she started taking the mums for tours. I had one comment to me later, she talks like she's reading a book, as though she's thought out what to say and memorised it.

I guess that's true she does talk like that. I love those playcentre mums, they don't get DD on any level, but they DO love and accept her, and are very happy to help extend her.
