HowlerKarma, I am right with you on that. We do not shelter our conversation very much at all. Particularly not at the academic level of topics. Academically, she understands many very adult worldly topics. My post about her picking things up at diners was more to state there is no way that I could shelter her if I wanted to. From since she was very young I have very often been unable to figure out how she learned things that she knows, and now I no longer try. She just has a wealth of knowledge that she has some how picked up along the way from what often must have been very incidental methods.
