    You are checking out a pile of Life of Fred books (algebra with biology, physics, etc.) for your 9 year old to read for fun. And you think that's normal.

    When you set up the DS7's Netflix account and he says, "Can you set it so that it only shows me nature documentaries?"

    I wish that your DD had visited my house for Trick or Treating at 7. It sounds so cool.

    On a related note, DS8 dressed as a Red Ninja and recited the witches chant from MacBeth at every house this year with dramatics, sound effects and cackles - much to the confusion and bewilderment of everyone. But, he was told that he might end up as an actor in his later life!

    When your 16 month old knows better than his dad what gets thrown in the garbage and what goes to recycle...and where to put them, respectively. Every. Single. Time.

    When your DD5 is officially subject accelerated to 5th grade in reading and math at a private GT school. And the school's curriculum coordinator adds, "it's still probably not going to be very challenging for her but she's only 5. Not everything she does has to be hard."

    Do they take 4 year olds? It sounds pretty terrific.

    DS4 as overheard while battling with his super hero figurines and villains, reenacted for your enjoyment and my memory:

    Villain utters some vague threat and waves sword at hero.

    Hero:You think you can threaten me you impudent goon? That little sword of yours is an impotent butter knife against my powers.

    Villain: Prepare to meet your doom.

    Hero: For a cold blooded criminal, you sure are a hothead.

    The figurines were then hurled unceremoniously at one another, in the style of the puppet fights in the Team America movie.

    ---

    I know DS is internalizing my feedback when I find him praising me for patience and perseverance!
