My DD chooses to use her brain on different things than I would, and vice-versa, because we have some significant differences in personality. But I tell her that I have the user's manual to her brain. How she learns, how she processes information, and how she expresses information, are mostly mysterious to my DW, and very familiar to me. For instance, when DD was 3 and telling an anecdote, she'd reach for stuffed animals or the salt/pepper shakers to reenact the incident, DW thought it was so bizarre, and I was like, "Oh yeah, I get that."
