Yes. Same here.

That prodigy word is a killer. It calls to mind those kids being paraded on tv for doing something so astonishing. And at 3 I was saying, well it's not like he's going to be one of those college students at 10. Well fast forward a few years and I am starting to wonder if I will need to do that for science. But even saying that I still don't think prodigy. The media has made the word feel creepy to me.
