Anyone elses kid do this?...DD is 3.2, but has been doing this since she was 2....it has just gotten even more intense.
So every morning, I am awaken by my crazy peanut with questions. These questions continue all day..... but mainly consist of definitions.
I wish I knew how her brain works...from the outside it seems that words must be randomly floating through her head and she spouts them out seeking meanings. Some of these words I know where she heard, from a book we read a month ago, from a show she watched 2 weeks ago, from a statement I made the day before....others I have no clue. Sometimes she can tell me where she heard it, other times she says "I don't know" when asked.
Here is a list of words that she asked for definitions of...these are JUST from today!
-Resolve
-Angered
-Dissolve
-College
-Consequences
-Perfect
-Early
-Grip
-Explore
-Succulent
-Suffocate
-Fresh
-Refreshment
-Beveled
-Erroneous
-Shuck
-Terminate
-Alert
Some pretty huge words. This is all day long, when she is coloring and I am busy cleaning or cooking, outside when she is playing ball, riding in the car....All completely out of the blue.
I am thinking this is probably one of the ways her profoundly gifted brain works differently. I remember first noticing this when she was about 2 and she was working on a puzzle and I was reading a book on the couch. She looked up from her puzzle and asked "What does fancy mean?"
I get some words...but her need to know Erroneous, Beveled, etc....that just blows me away.
