Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion The ultimate brag thread

This AM, I told DW I would get the "Y-O-G-U-R-T" ready for Mr W's breakfast.

He looked at her and said, "YOGURT!!!!! YES!!"

I have been pretty preoccupied with discovering DS7 LOG that I have been purposefully denying DD3s giftedness. She just turned 3 mind you and was a preemie. Yday she came running up to tell me that her imaginary friends were using the "A-word" and could I please put them in time out. *rolls eyes* I really can only handle one kid at once. HELP! Anyone else have this experience. LOL

It's quite amazing isn't it. Whenever DS5 is quiet and staring I know something is going on in there. He does a lot of great thinking in the car...and he frequently catches me off guard. Like this morning he had a great idea to build a miniature golf course in our back yard...he even drew up the plans for this. Usually he is thinking about math and word game things in his head.

Great stories, everybody! I do love those "deep thought" times--very special.

Okay, so this was a good one today. We're in the checkout line at Wegmans (grocery store) and DS6 says "Dad! They use the binary system here!"

"What? Where?"

"There!"

"I don't see it."

"See, the checkouts. The light [in the isle] on means that it's open. When the light is off, they are closed! It's binary!"

"Uhh... yeah, you're right!"

OH I love it JBDad!!!

Hee hee! That's great!

how does he no the word binary? that a cool thought he had.

We talked about different number base systems a while ago. Basically he "gets" the idea and could do math in just about any base. (Murderous maths also stretched his mind with the Mayans base 60 math.) He did a double key code for his mom that went alpha to binary to alpha. Murderous Maths have been a home run with him... Love that book series.

Funny and wonderful!
