    When your son talks you into peeling off his gross, soggy, mucky winter boots from equally mucky snow pants, and you agree - in return for a Super Hug.

    Minutes later:

    Me: "That was no Super Hug! It was barely a hug at all."

    Him: "Well Mommy, you can hardly expect sincerity when it was extracted as payment."

    When your child, who has been reading Exidus, asks why women were considered unclean after childbirth in the mosaic law... Then u derstands and doesn't get grossed out as you explain what lochia is.

    You find yourself holding back sharing your child's early milestones on a local gifted support website's commiseration thread because your child's milestones precede most of the other children's milestones by a large margin.

    I love this forum, dare I say because it feels nice for my child to be "normal" in a group. Being a singularity is exhausting.
