Ok my own contribution--

You know you're parenting a gifted child when your three year old says, "DD7's crying!" And so you check on her (she's just sitting at the table nearby) and she says, "Oh, I was just thinking about a part Jane Eyre and imagining it, and I cried." I had to ask; I was curious because it's been a while since she was into Jane: she was thinking of Jane lost and alone, nearly dying in the rain, and brokenhearted over Rochester.
